Keeping up with the Srat-dashians

In case no one knows, “srat” is a joking work for “sorority." Enjoy the read.

So we Greeks all that one trend that starts on Srat row and we’re not sure where it started or why it started. We aren’t even sure that we like it. Actually, we know we don’t like it.

But guess what, we go along with the trend anyway. We go buy the ridiculous hair scrunchy that we saw Suzy from Apple Beta Pi wearing. We get that dumb sticker on our laptop. Why? BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE SRAT-DASHIANS. That’s why.

Maybe there’s that one group of girls in your chapter that clique together and gossip about everyone else and spill all the dirt they think they have one people. They’re that group that no one really wants to piss off because there’s telling what they’ll say about you.

That one group of girls that get one thousand likes on every single Instagram post. The one group that has 500 retweets on the tweet about what they are for breakfast. We have to keep up. We have to try to be that group. ... right?

Wrong. Fake news. Nada. No good. However you wanna put it. You don’t have to keep up with the Srat-dashians at all. Don’t like that new pair of shoes that came out? Don’t get em. Don’t wanna go to that huge frat house party on Thursday? Don’t go.

Who are you keeping your appearances up for? It shouldn’t be for anyone.

In my sorority, we wear all white and no makeup to ritual events. This symbolizes the fact that our sorority loves our purest self. We formally pledge to our sorority in this attire, meaning that our sorority accepted us as our truest selves before they really knew us.

Every girl is accepted into an amazing Greek affiliation because of her truest and purest self. Even if your purest self likes to wear camo crocs.

You don’t have to keep with the girls that act like they’re Kim Kardashian on sorority row.

In the very wise words of Dr. Seuss, “Be who you are and say what you feel because the people that mind don’t matter and the people that matter don’t mind.”

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.
