1. You wake up abnormally early.
Everyone is extremely proud of themselves because you all somehow managed to get ready to go by 9am. This is huge for your sorority and you congratulate each other for the turn out.
2. You have to work out the car situation.
With a lot of girls, and few cars, you have to figure out who is driving who and pray that any double buckles don’t get pulled over. On the car ride, you probably stop at Bojangle’s or some other restaurant that counteracts all of the healthy hiking you’re about to partake in. Note: The person in shotgun is responsible for putting ketchup on the driver’s chicken biscuit (it’s ~sisterly~)
3. Whoever has a GoPro is required to bring it
You want to document this moment in videos and in pictures. Possible 15-second video for Instagram? Of course.
4. You complain at the hills.
Your sorority begins to realize that with hiking comes hills and you all hate it. You complain about the inclines and begin to choose routes based on their easiness level.
5. You immediately take pictures at anything that looks remotely like a view
Anything that seems to be overlooking something (a small body of water, random trees, anything) becomes a great view you need to take pictures in front of. You each take turns being the photographer so everyone has a chance in the group photo.
6. Bikers and runners who walk by look at you strangely.
You look like elementary schoolers on a field trip in every way besides your age. Bikers and runners have no idea who you are or why you are hiking so they just look at you strangely trying to figure out what they have run into.
7. Speaking of bikers and runners, when they come, you have to scream “biker” so everyone knows to get out of the
Reiterating the elementary schoolers, you have to get in single file on the side on the path because your group is too big and could easily stop this biker in their tracks. Therefore, out of politeness, you all scream “biker” and get to the side , which confuses the biker even more.
8. “Where are the Geotags” is asked.
Everyone in your sorority wants to SnapChat story this moment. You all are highly disappointed when you realize that the forest does not have a geotag and no one can appreciate your cool adventure in a geotag. You still story a bunch of pictures anyway.
9. You periodically have “picture stops”.
Going along with wanting to document this even in its entirely, your hike consistently has ‘picture stops’ in which you take pictures with your sorority squad. These pictures don’t even have to have a view, but they constantly have your sorority flag or sign in them. Bonus points if they have both.
10. You flood everyone’s Instagram feed when you’re done and proudly tell everyone of the bonding session you just had.
You want to tell everyone about how much fun you had and how much you bonded with your sister. You utilize every social media medium to share pictures, comments, etc. At the end of the day, you thoroughly enjoyed your hike with your sisters and wouldn’t have wanted to spend the day any other way.
