9 Questions Sorority Girls Are Tired of Hearing
Read Unwritten

There are plenty of questions sorority girls are tired of being asked and here are a few of them.

1. So, you pay for your friends now...?

No, but if I did I should be paying a hell of a lot more. My dues go to the chapter. They fund events and fuel the chapter to support the organization at a national level.

2. You’re in a sorority, you don’t look like a sorority girl?

Thanks? One of the things I love most about being in a sorority that I can be involved in many other different parts of campus and not be titled as a stereotypical "Sorority Girl."

3. Do you love ALL your sisters?

No. Surprising I know!! But just like you’re family, we don’t have to love each other all the time but we have to respect one another.

4. What was the hazing like?

I wouldn’t know. No seriously, Greek life is starting to make stricter guidelines on hazing. My sorority has strict no hazing rules and instead educated and taught us values and traditions through bonding, strengthened our chapter.

4. Do you go out every night of the week?

God no. We have sisters taking the MCAT's and LSAT's. Sisters working full time as well as being full time students. We have sisters on the Dean’s list. And even a sister in the army. Most weekends you can find sisters studying in the library later than any party goer.

5. Why are you so obsessed with your little?

Your little is perfect. She just is. It’s not something required by the sorority. But after taking someone under your wing and caring for them as a big sister they become your world and the obsession takes over. It sounds creepy but it’s not as psycho as we sometimes make it out to be.

6. Why do you have to have a certain GPA?

Standards are put in place to make sure that potential new members and current sisters uphold a minimum GPA. Sororities are not all about partying... WOW!?

7. What’s your “Philanthropy?"

People always ask what my “Philanthropy” is, like it’s some made up unicorn we hide behind to look like good human beings. In reality it is the basis of what sororities are founded on. We have mandatory community service events as well as 10+ hours of community service to complete on our own. Sororities teach sisters how to give back and how to have a little fun doing it as well.

9. Do you only date frat guys

Some do just because we party a lot with frat guys. But usually most of us date guys who are not affiliated with Greek life. Some of us don’t even date guys.

So there you have it. Get used to these questions newly initiated sisters and even current sisters. People never get tired of asking these questions. Hopefully one day we can ride the stereotype that sorority girls are just a bunch of drunken party girls.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
