We listen to music these days like it’s nobody’s business. We sing along to them on crazy long road trips, in between rounds during recruitment, and while we’re studying for the biggest exams of our lives. But one of the most amazing things about music is that whenever a song comes on the radio, Spotify, or your playlist, we automatically reminisce to the greatest memories we’ve shared with our sisters.
1. "You were born and raised to be a southern belle but in a place like this you like to raise a little hell." – Sorority Girl, Luke Bryan
So Luke just described your typical sorority girl (hence the title of the song). But we all know we're not all the stereotypical sorority girl. We don't always wear sundresses to football games. Not all of us are tan year round, and we're all a lot smarter that people give us credit to be. There's just something about this song (the tune, the lyrics, or maybe the guys singing it) that reminds us to have fun and say "F the stereotypes."
2. "If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see, I'll be the light to guide you." – Count On Me, Bruno Mars
Bruno tells it the way it is. As sorority women, we know that no matter what kind of trouble we get ourselves into, we'll have two hundred reliable women who will be more than happy to help a sista out.
3. "We can live fast, fly young. Every day we celebrate just like we won. Only you and I, DIY. We found a way to live the dream until we die." – We Got the World, Icona Pop
Being in a sorority has been one of the best decisions any of us have made. When we're with our sisters, we feel unstoppable. We can live how we want, have as much fun as we want, and know that our sisters are there with us to do the same.
4. "And I realize the blame is on me, cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in, so shame on me now." – I Knew You Were Trouble, Taylor Swift
We all had this feeling going through recruitment. There were those few girls we all had a feeling would be some of the most outgoing and fun girls for our chapter... And boy were we right. But, it happens, you know?
5. Everything is looking up, everybody up now. This is gonna be the best day of my life." – The Best Day of My Life, American Authors
Every day with our sisters is the best day of our lives. Nothing compares to doing homework, hanging out, watching movies and going on road trips with our sisters.
6. And when you need a place to run to, for better for worse, I got you." – I Got You, Leona Lewis
We've all had those days when we feel like we're alone in the world, like no one understands what we're going through. Though that may be true, we know that our sisters are always there for us with open arms for us to run in to. And they always manage to turn those awful days into some of the best we've ever had.
7. "First time I saw you, I knew right away. Made up my mind, you would be mine someday." – All the Way, Timeflies
Whether this pertains to recruitment or during our search for the perfect little/big, we all had this feeling at some point and time. It's indescribable, the feeling we get. But it lets us know that we've made the best decision joining the sisterhood that we're a part of.
8. "I owned every second that this world could give. I saw so many places , the things that I did. Yeah, with every broken bone, I swear I lived." – I Lived, One Republic
Many of us were boring people before going Greek. It wasn't until joining a sorority and surrounding ourselves with some of the most involved and dedicated women did we realize all the things we were missing in our lives. Looking back, we can really say that because of our chapter, we've lived the life we're supposed to.
9. "I've been lost, and I've been found, but who I am with you is who I really want to be." – Who I Am With You, Chris Young
Our sisters have helped bring out the best in us. They've helped us find who we're supposed to be in this life. Each and every day we have with them is a blessing because we know that they're the ones who make us who we really want to be.
