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.”

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.
