An Open Letter To My Delta Gamma Sisters

Dear Delta Gammas:

When I told my friend (who is in a frat) that I was rushing DG he was shocked. He told me that I am not a sorority girl. He also asked me if something happened during the few months we didn't speak to each other, and why the sarcastic ssashole he met last year is rushing now?

To be honest, his reaction didn't surprise me. He is the kind of kid who will speak, say something outrageous and then think about it. But I felt a little offended when he said that I am not the typical sorority girl. I am not a tall, beautiful girl who is obsessed with pumpkin spice lattes and who wears leather boots. Hell, I don't even own a pair of leather boots.

Freshman year I would have believed those words. I would have believed that because I am far from that description I don't belong to a sisterhood. I met so many girls that are part of greek life that are far from the stereotype that movies and media portrait, that I realized I wanted to be part of it.

I have to admit that at the beginning I was a little skeptical. Sure, I fell in love with DG values, colors and philanthropy as I was stalking the website this summer, but I was not sure about joining. I went through recruitment after learning more about this top-notch fraternity (because we are not a sorority!) and knowing that I was going to be a founder sister. Imagine how good that looks?

But after meeting most of you I realize I was in the place I belong to. I am a huge believer of destiny and that everything happens for a reason, and there was a reason why I ignored the stereotypes and went through this. We are all amazing girls with bright futures, and we will make DG a place we will be proud to call home.

It's been a week since bid day, and I can seriously say that I have connected with so many of you. I can already tell that this will be an amazing year filled with laughter, philanthropy events, late night movies, support and more. Of course it will be filled with cute anchors, too.

DG sisters, I am so glad I can call you all my sister and I can't seriously wait for this year to come,

Orly

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
