14 Reasons Why You Should Consider Greek Life

1. Parties

When it comes to parties I personally believe that Greek is the way to go. You basically will have parties every weekend. Also, there will always be fun themed parties that you wouldn't have if you weren't in a Frat/Sorority. We really know how to party.

2. Friends

The friends that you will find are going to be a really important part of your life they will become your family. One that shares the same taste, hobbies, and interest as you. And PLEASE forget about that “paying for friendship" haters' quote. We only pay for our activities, parties, housing, and food just like everybody else.

3. Girls

We all know Sorority girls are HOT. Plus you will always have formals where you need to bring a date. Pretty much you have a pretty good excuse to invite that girl you are really attracted to, to your Formal, or in the best scenario to a nice weekend on the beach.

4. Tailgates.

If you don't go to a Greek tailgate while in college, I am really sorry for you. When it comes to support our colors we go crazy about it. I assure you, they are the loudest, biggest, most fun tailgates in the whole campus.

5. Holidays.

The way the Greeks celebrates holidays like St. Patrick's Day, and the fourth of July will make you wait those dates like your birthday

6. Philanthropy.

You will actually do something good for the world. It might be helping a sick child, or raising funds to a big foundation. But the thing is that you will do it and feel good about it.

7. Always companion.

Being on a house with regularly more than 50 people you will always have a person to go to the gym with, to play some golf, or just to go for a run.

8. Never get bored.

You will never get bored you will always find something to do. Or will suddenly receive a text asking if you wanna hit the gym, go to a concert, or just go to a bar for drinks.

9. Reasons to celebrate.

There is always a good reason to celebrate. If is not one of your brother's /sister's birthday, some other just got accepted to Grad School. So keep calm and get ready to celebrate your ass off.

10. Food.

Depending on the frat/sorority you could have a chef on your house, that most of the time cooks pretty good so just forget about meal plans.

11. Studying gets easier.

There is always that one person who already took that one class with that specific instructor. Having their notes, material, and homework would make it much easier. Don't you think?

12. Activities.

Being on a Frat or Sorority involves a lot of cool activities and trips you wouldn't wanna miss. Also there's always sport tournaments that will keep you active and in shape.

13. Experience.

Being in a Fraternity/Sorority would definitely be one of the best experience of your life. There will be moments, anecdotes, and memories that you will never forget. And you will absolutely have some great stories to tell.

14. Networking.

After all the fun is over you will still have your benefits. You are now part of a nation wide organization with thousands of relatives out there that would be willing to help you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
