If Fraternity Men Acted Like Sorority Women

Have you ever stopped and thought about how different sororities and fraternities are besides the whole gender aspect? We are all apart of the Greek organization, bettering our communities and ourselves and being part of something bigger than anything we have ever known, but what happens when we are not saving the world is completely different.

So let's say in a parallel universe fraternity men acted like sorority women -- these are some of the trends the boys would pick up on.

Spirit jerseys.

The guys have apparel, but nothing this eccentric. Imagine seeing the guys walking around campus with their fraternity names bolded across their backs. Not even just spirit jerseys, but what if the guys had half the apparel sorority women have. I think we get a new shirt for every single event, philanthropy, or day of the week there is.

Recruitment.


Imagine if the fraternities did recruitment the way we did, wait; imagine if they even understood how recruitment worked. The cheers, the clapping, the door chants -- then having timed conversations with a stranger, sober, about what their major is, favorite color, blah, blah, blah while trying to figure out if this is who they want in their organization. What do guys even talk about?

Throwing what you know.

Could that even work with half of the letters they have in their names? Come on, guys, throw what ya' know! Backs turned to the camera and what might look like a gang sign above the head for a picture perfect Insta.

Wine.

Instead of the massive amounts of beer, it is wine. From pink moscato to a dry chardonnay that is all there is to drink while gossiping over what happened the previous weekend. Don't forget fuzzy slippers and one-sy pajamas for a comfy night in.

Crafting.

Something the sorority women are well known for -- from paddles to whatever they can find at the local Hob Lob, but when a guy crafts does he put in as much effort as a girl crafting for her future little does? Probably not. I will admit some guys do have some amazing creative crafting skills, but the majority of them do not want to take the effort into crafting. But I can't blame them -- my crafting skills are really awful.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
