Sorority Girl: "A sorority girl is a female college student. She will normally be seen wearing Chanel sunglasses, a Northface jacket and bag representing her sorority's letters. Sorority girls are typically high maintenance and very uppity. Most are white middle and upper middle-class girls that are spoiled and extremely materialistic. These bleach blondes are extremely loud and spend most of their time shopping and partying with frat boys." (Via Urban Dictionary)
People on the outside looking in stare at sorority girls with judgmental eyes. In their minds, they know me. It's easier for people to pre-judge someone based off of what they know about sororities, but in reality, they don’t know me — and it isn’t fair. Yes, I am the girl who could spend hours in TJmaxx and Target. Yes, I am the girl who loves wearing bright colors, going to country concerts in cowboy boots and takes pictures of everything. Yes, I am the girl who listens to Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Sam Hunt. However, none of that, none of those things make me the "dumb, stereotypical, stuck-up sorority girl."
While I’m the "Yes Girl" to all of that, I’m also the ‘Yes Girl’ to so much more. Yes, I’m the girl who studies hard and works for what I want in life. Yes, I’m the girl who spends Sunday afternoons in the library and has missed a night out having fun with my friends because of a test or early class the next day. Yes, I am the girl who has mastered time management because of this. Yes, I’m the girl who donates my time helping the homeless and who cries during animal shelter commercials if I don't change the station within five seconds.
Yes, I’m the girl who goes to church and would rather be on a mission trip serving The Lord and helping kids.Yes, I am the girl who dresses as a taco for Halloween instead of a Victoria's Secret Angel. Yes, I am the girl who would rather shop at Goodwill over Lily Pulitzer. Yes, I am an athlete. Yes, I am the girl who would rather eat pizza, tacos and biscuits instead of a salad. Yes, I’m the girl who volunteers with children for my sorority. Yes, I’m the girl who takes pride in what I do, be it school, work, or relationships and when I do something, I do it 100%. Yes, I am the girl who would wear Nike shorts and cat shirts every day of the week if I could.
Yes, I’m the girl who knows the difference between right and wrong and I’m the girl who would do anything for my friends and family. I’m the girl who doesn’t deserve to be judged by people who don't take the time to get to know me.
