10 Reasons Living In A Sorority House Is The Best Experience

personal photo

I've heard from many people either considering Greek life or just curious about it ask me what living in my sorority house is like more times than I can count. The truth is if you have the option to live in your sorority's house, do it, you will not regret your decision. Here are 10 reasons why you should live in your sorority house if you can!

1. The House Is Your Closet

Giphy

l literally borrow belts and sweaters from my sisters all the time! They're always a text away if you need anything to complete an outfit!

2. SNACKS EVERYWHERE!!!

Giphy

I'll get texts in my group chat saying that someone brought home a pizza for us or something all the time! Literally, you share everything with your sisters and sometimes the comes with food-related perks.

3. Bonding Sessions

Giphy

We all like to watch movies and make crafts together as a way of bonding. It's super fun and it's some of my fondest memories!

4. The Cute Little Notes You'll Get

Giphy

I love when I come back to my room in the house to little notes my sisters went out of their way to write me and stick them on my desk. It makes me feel loved and I keep every single note that is delivered to me!

5. The Late Night Study Sessions

Giphy

I don't normally stay up to do work but when I do, it's always near some of my sisters so I have company to entertain me!

6. The Constant Celebrations

Giphy

Whenever something amazing happens to any of us, we always celebrate it in some way because we like to build each other up all the time!!

7. Always Having Smiling Faces To Come Home To

Giphy

It's so nice coming home to people who genuinely want to know about your day and who are always happy to see you!

8. Always Having A Shoulder To Cry On

Giphy

If anyone is ever down, there are dozens of girls a room away ready to make you smile again!

9. The Constant Dance Parties

Giphy

I love it when my sisters come into my room while I'm playing music and they dance with me!

10. A Home Away From Home

Giphy

Having somewhere to call home in college is one of the warmest feelings in the world. You'll never feel isolated or alone because you'll have a whole house that will help you remember what being home really feels like.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
