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).
