14 Theories Why The Girl Scouts Are The OG Sorority

We have power. We have strength. We have friendship. We have sisterhood.

Little did we know that as we grew up, we all started out as sisters from other misters just to all come together in our loving Greek communities. Now that we are older, we can see it clear as day. Each troop, or chapter, has their difference, but all together, we stand united with the background of being involved in something greater than ourselves.

Put the stereotypes of both Girl Scouts and college sororities together, and look at how much they have in common.

Overall, we all seek to grow and become a better version of ourselves, but here are 14 direct correlations of how similar Girl Scouts are to Greek Life Sororities… So you tell me, were Girl Scouts our OG sorority?

1. The Girl Scout Greeting is just like the secret handshake sorority woman must use to get into their chapter meetings.

2. Community service troops complete is just like service hours each sorority woman must complete.

3. Selling cookies at local vendors is similar to a philanthropy event.

4. Iron-on patches on sashes or vests are like badges.

5. Girl Scout ceremonies are similar to sorority rituals.

6. The Girl Scout pledge is like each sorority’s creed.

7. Troop Leaders are like the house moms.

8. Events with parents are sorority Mom’s and Dad’s Days.


9. Progression of earning Bridging Awards (Daisy, Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior, Ambassador) is equivalent to the progression a sorority member goes through (receiving a bid, pledge, chairman, executive board position, senior, alum).

10. Girls Scout camps are equal to sisterhood retreats.

11. Vests, sashes, and attire requirements in Girl Scouts are similar to sorority recruitment or chapter meeting attire.

12. Membership fees are like chapter dues.

13. Friendship crafting like bracelets and swaps would be just like Big/Little crafting.

14. The Girl Scout sign would be just like the hand signs each sorority has and proudly takes artsy photos with.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
