So You Want To Join A Sorority

Do not fret my pets.

So... it's a new semester and it's time to join or stress over whether or not the sorority liked you or not. Certain schools already rushed and some new members already have their bigs, but for sororities in smaller schools, the process can be a much slower and painful one. But don't fret, because once the initial stress is over, the next couple of weeks will be fun, fun, learning about your founders and more fun.

Okay the first week after your interest night can be super rough.
Super stressful and most certainly full of self doubt. But do not fret. If you are waiting for an email "during the week" and haven't gotten it by around noon on Tuesday, do NOT email them about pulling your name. You want this. You know you want this. The email will come and it will come SOON do not fret.

Once that week is over, it's time for a celebration.
Remember that cute little dance montage that was most certainly in their recruitment video? Yeah THAT's the kind of fun that you are about to have. Please just stick it out and definitly do NOT advertise what you get in emails or phone calls because the recruitment and after recruitment process is completely confidential and certain organizations will come after you if you post their secrets. So just don't, okay? I get you're excited, but there are certain things that are just better if left unsaid.

If however, you do not get in, do not fret my pets.
A good chunk of the time they will tell you why and if they don't, do not give up. Come out again and prove that you are your own unique, beautiful and wonderful person. Rememeber, you is smart, you is kind, you is important. Sometimes you meet the wrong girls or you just don't vibe with certain people and that is not your fault and should most definitely not get discouraged.

Sororities can be a lot of fun and are able to do a lot of good. But if you do not get in or don't find a good fit, don't give up. You are completely worthy of everything and will do great things even if this isn't one of them. Have a great day lovelies!

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.
