Being in a sorority definitely has its upsides, one of the best being the fact that you now get to experience life with 40 or so of your best friends by your side: your pledge class. As we continue to trudge on through the dreary months of summer, our pledge class GroupMes become increasingly integral parts of daily life. Whether you leave your notifications on and check it obsessively, or you mindlessly scroll through the hundreds of messages you missed during your commute to work, there is something indescribably special about your pledge class, so thank goodness you have an overly active GroupMe to remind you. While each pledge class is comprised of different people (duh), the experiences you encounter in your pledge class GroupMe are surprisingly finite, and nobody can explain this phenomenon better than Cosmo and Wanda.

When someone recalls a funny memory and you follow up, but it gets zero likes.

When your non-pledge class friends see your phone constantly blowing up and think you're popular.

When your best friend memes and sends an ugly picture of you completely out of the blue.

When two people have a full-on discussion that is completely unrelated to anyone else.

When it's the day before formal.

When someone you weren't that close with before "likes" every single thing you say.

When you think someone is making a joke and you say "lol" but they were actually serious.

When you wake up after a long night out with a dozen messages asking if everyone is still alive.

When you find a perfect reaction GIF and are able to send it before someone else sends another message.

When someone asks you to send a picture of what you're wearing to the event tonight and you do it but nobody replies.

When someone says "tbt to when (insert embarrassing thing you did)" and it gets more than 20 likes in five minutes.

When you should be doing something valuable with your time but you're too busy catching up on old messages.

When someone asks if everyone will like their Instagram.

When you receive the "I miss you guys!!!!" message at least once a week over the summer.

When you realize how great all of your friends are, and as annoying as your PC GroupMe may be, you're extremely appreciative to have such a perfect pledge class.
