9 Telltale Signs You're In A Sorority

I’m not saying all sorority girls are exactly alike. Far from it.

However, there are a few dead giveaways we can’t help. It’s a part of what makes a sorority girl, a sorority girl.

1. You love your big/little beyond reason. In your eyes, she can do no wrong. She is the epitome of perfection, and the fact that she thinks you are too only makes it better.

2. Your closet consists of PR, PR, and more PR. You don’t even bother spending time picking out an outfit for class anymore. All you need is your philanthropy event tank top or spirit jersey, Norts, and tennis shoes. Every. Single. Day.

3. You throw what you know every chance you get. Overseas? Throw what you know. In the mountains? Throw what you know. At the beach? Throw what you know. Selfie at your house doing absolutely nothing? You’d better throw what you know, just in case.

4. You have an obsession with buying things with your symbol on it. Even if you never particularly cared for your symbol before joining your sorority, you now not only love it, you seek it out.

5. You can check your phone at any given moment during the semester and have a ton of messages from your GroupMe. And the thing is, it can’t even really piss you off, because you love them all too much. Plus, you actually do want to know everything that’s going on in their lives. Sisterhood for the win.

6. You have a box of random clothes stashed somewhere in your room. You have something for any themed party. And I do mean any theme. The amount of strange clothing and accessories you hoard could probably clothe a circus.

7. You craft like it’s your job. Between the gifts for your little, away weekend coolers, and room decorations, you’ve got this one down. You may even have a bin full of emergency crafting supplies, including (but not limited to) canvases, paint, and a whole lot of glitter.

8. You automatically squat for group photos. How did you ever take huge group photos before? Oh, that’s right. You didn’t.

9. You don’t buy nice dresses for every occasion anymore. It seems like there’s a formal or a dated every other week. Why buy a new dress every time when you can raid your 140 sisters’ closets instead?

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

Bailey Totten

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
