1. You automatically have something to look forward to.
Whether its a rough Tuesday night studying or that long, tediously mind-numbing class right before you go to the house, the thought of Fried Friday will get you through anything. It's power can even get you through a midterm or two (not like I can speak from experience or anything...).
2. The week will FLY by.
Once you have something like this to end your week, suddenly everything prior to it seems to speed up. It's like when you're getting ready for a holiday and all of a sudden it comes up out of nowhere, except this holiday is a weekly celebration.
3. It's a great way to catch up with people.
They say that food can bring the world together, and I feel like Fried Friday is no exception. I've brought people I barely know and left feeling closer to them, and I've brought people I haven't seen in a while simply to catch up on life. You don't even need to bring anyone in order to catch up; seeing your sisters and talking about your week is always an amazing time spent together.
4. The entire sorority row smells like heaven.
Simply being near the row makes your mouth water on Friday afternoons. House after house, they all smell like restaurants with each pumping out your favorite foods. What's not to love?
5. You get to show off your beautiful house.
Like I said earlier, bringing people to Fried Friday is a blast for a ton of reasons. One thing I love is bringing in a friend who has never been in my sorority house and seeing their jaw drop when they go in the front door. I love my sorority, so being able to brag about our beautiful house and show it off a little bit makes me happy.
6. And then your friends bring their friends...
It seriously turns into a big party. You get to meet friends, families, significant others, classmates, and visitors of all kinds. Everyone's friends intermingle with each other, and by the time you walk out you might have some really great new people in your life.
7. ALL OF THE FRIED FOODS.
This one may be obvious, but it is why we are here talking in the first place. Fried Friday is good. Like, SO GOOD. They don't exaggerate when they say it is one of the best parts of being in a sorority at UA. It's all you can eat, it's all fried, and it's all delicious. It's indescribable, really. There is seriously nothing better than a Fried Friday.
