Hogwarts is the dream, being sorted into your dream house is what every die hard fan wants, and sorority life is exactly that!


1. You Get Sorted

Sometimes you don't choose the house...the house chooses YOU. As you walk through those beautiful corridors and check out the detailed bedrooms and common areas you are thinking to yourself "It's like the Gryffindor of sororities!" You walk into their study and it feels like the Great Hall and there should be a feast that should magically appear in front of you. Meeting these girls has never been better, you fit in, #SQUAD. Bid Day arrives and as you open your letter, you begin to think, "You're a wizard Harry." But you already know that- hurry up already! What chapter are you in!? You never thought this day would come. Wow. Here we go...

2. Greek Week is as Brutal as The Tri-Wizard Tournament

Glitter. Singing. Cheesy Lyrics. Painting. Long Nights. Endless Practice. All for the trophy at the end of the week. It's brutal, difficult, but you learn a lot about yourself and others. Sometimes it brings the dark side out of us...

3. You Gain Best Friends To Do Crazy Stuff With

Maybe not as crazy as Harry, Ron, and Hermione like defeating dark wizards and zipping around the world defeating horcruxes. But the friends you make will be there to dress up like weirdos with you on themed sisterhood events, go on late night Taco Bell runs, dance parties in your tiny room and getting yelled at by the house mom! Traveling the world with them could be an option too, hopefully horcruxes won't be in your future though. These people will know who you really are, and adventure is out there as long as you're with them.

4. Intramurals = Quidditch

Each house has its team, the ones who sign up for everything! It's FUN to play in the powderpuff tournaments that fraternities put on and intramural games throughout the semester. And it gets INTENSE. The little recognition at the end that your sorority has just wo the Sorority Basketball Championship is like catching the snitch. Sweet satisfaction.

5. Secrets...

Every house has its secrets, like where the Ravenclaw Tower actually is and what even happened to Rowena Ravenclaws lost diadem? Your sorority will have its special mysteries as well, and it makes you even more honored to be able to know that.

6. Harry's Summers Are So Relatable

After the semester ends, it is the worst thing saying goodbye to your sisters. Sitting around waiting for school to start up again and go back to your home and best friends. It feels like nobody understands you! Everyone thinks you're a freak because you're in a sorority! And there's bars on your windows and your owl needs to go out to fly but your stupid guardians are stupid! Okay maybe not the ending, but it's really hard being away from your chosen family!

7. There Will Always Be Prefects

There will always be the girls who keep the chapter in check just as Percy Weasley walked the halls of Hogwarts making sure Gryffindors were in bed past curfew. We need these girls, love them as much as you don't want to!

8. There Will Always Be Slytherins

Face it, you can't go through life without people who just make you angry. Just try to get through it, you're all sisters, all going to the same school, and you all wear black cloaks with crests on them and carry around wands and potions books. Or maybe just a Spirit Jersey and a cute Planner for your busy SRAT life.

9. You'll Never Be Bored And Your Squad Always Has Your Back

Seriously there will always be something to do. And no matter what, your closest sisters will always be there to back up your crazy ideas, like creating a polyjuice potion to break into Bellatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
