9 Times 'Scream Queens' Got Sorority Life Right

And you thought it was just another cliché sorority show.

So you may or may not have watched Scream Queens, the slightly cringe-worthy TV show about sorority girls being murdered and whatnot. Between the overly gruesome scenes filled with fake blood and the sorority cliches being thrown left and right, a lot of people found it hard to watch. I, on the other hand, found it absolutely hilarious. From the overdramatic screams to the fabulous outfits, I welcomed every episode. And although Scream Queens can seem like a little much, here are all the times it actually got sorority life right.

1. If we were being really honest about chapter

I'm not sorry to start out here, but I'm just being perfectly honest. Some nights, chapter lasts two hours, and there is a never ending stream of announcements that no one really cares about. Of course, none of us would actually ever say that out loud, but we're definitely all thinking it when they remind us for the tenth time that the optional scholarship workshop is this weekend. Because to be honest, I'm definitely not going.


2. When someone mentions the best idea ever at chapter

Whether it's the coolest sisterhood event idea you've ever heard of or the most lit swap theme you could've ever imagined, you have one thought - this has GOT to happen. You don't care how or when, but you know it will be the main social event on your calendar. Well, besides formal anyway.


3. When you get called into standards

No, you say. That doesn't really look like me dancing on an elevated surface in that video. You're trying your best to get out of the trouble you've gotten yourself into. I'm sure we could all take the advice of Old Row here - "Admit Nothing, Deny Everything".


4. How you look when the swap is boring

You were so hype for this specific theme with this awesome frat. It's finally time to go to the bar that the swap is being held at, but when you get there, it could not be more lame. Your outfit didn't turn out quite the way you wanted it to, and the guys are all talking to themselves. So you just stand in the corner with your closest sisters and pout it out until the busses start running back to the house.


5. On the other hand...

You go to a swap, and you meet a really great guy, and you exchange snaps (because who deals with phone numbers anymore?). The next thing you know, he's sending you a message asking if you want to go to a date party with him in three days - and there's only one answer to that question. YES!


6. When formal finally rolls around

You've had your dress picked out for a year and your date picked out for a week, and you couldn't be more excited. You're dressed to the 9's, and honestly, this may be the most important function of the whole year.


7. After a long night and you just want to go get food with your sister friends

You've had a rough night/week/semester, and you just want to sit down and vent and smash on some pizza - especially here at Ole Miss, where Papa John's is open until 3 in the morning. So many times, sorority girls have the stigma of never eating to stay thin, but in all honesty, all we do is eat. Ice cream, pizza, cookies - basically all the food.


8. When you hear someone talking smack about your girls

This one kind of speaks for itself. Girl groups are super close-knit, and you don't mess with someone's girl group. Rivalries can exist in the srat world we live in, and this is probably the most common response.


9. When you know what sisterhood really means

Okay, yeah, Chanel was definitely not the best person, but she has the right idea. Being a sister is all about being a "kind and devoted and loving friend to all". Even on days when you hate everyone, you love your sisters and what you all stand for as a sisterhood. You strive to uphold the values of your sorority and support one another through thick and thin. So, I think this is the best Scream Queens quote (out of context anyway).

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
