When You Give A Girl A Panhellenic Sister

Some of us knew since elementary school that we wanted to be in a sorority; some of us didn't realize it until a semester into college. Some of us follow our mother's footsteps, and some of us become the first sorority woman in our family. We all have different backgrounds, and we all manage to fit together somehow. We are all bonded by one simple thing: sisterhood. When you give a girl a panhellenic sis, this is what she will gain.

1. She will gain knowledge of upcoming beauty trends (whether they be a complete disaster or not).

2. She will receive support before she even knew she needed it.

3. She will gain memories, and will repeatedly share her memories with you (whether you want to hear them or not).

4. She will have numerous closets to raid.

5. She will have a personal doctor at her doorstep.

6. She will receive love and be taught how to love others.

7. She will gain a personal trainer or a couch potato (same thing).

8. She will be motivated to reach her dreams.

9. She will have a repair man. (Yes, sorority women know how to use a drill.)

10. She will gain knowledge of other perspectives and be motivated to think outside the box.

11. She will have a personal "seat saver."

12. She will gain a public relations helper (or in other words, someone to tell her not to tweet that outrageous thought).

13. She will have a personal photographer.

14. She will receive a family away from home (overused, but true).

15. She will gain knowledge of other cultures.

16. She will obtain experiences that she will literally cherish forever.

17. She will receive the push she needs to grow up.

18. She will learn how to give back.

19. She will learn how to deal with the "bad times".

20. She will always have someone to call at 2 am.

21. She will gain the patience to sit through a 2-hour meeting.

22. She will learn how to sing songs and chant chants (and lose her voice doing it).

23. She will gain friendships even outside her chapter house.

24. She will learn how to dress snappy and casual simultaneously.

25. She will learn the sadness of having to say goodbye her senior year.

But most of all, she will gain a forgiving, memory creating and adored, sisterhood.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
