When we look back at our elementary and middle school days and compare them to our collegiate years, there aren't a lot of similarities, but when it comes down to it being a Girl Scout was really just the pregame for being in a sorority.

We have a specific way we identify ourselves

Eta chapter is our identifier now just as Troop 2237 was our identifier when we were 10.

Just as we have our favorite fraternities we had our favorite Boy Scout Troops

Troop 628 is the then equivalent of Chi Phi

You attend secret meetings

Girl Scout meetings=Chapter.

You have a pin attire to wear to those secret meetings

Whether it's nice dresses and pins or green vests and badges, you are still expected to be dressed a certain way.

You have pins

And even years down the road, they'll never lose their meaning.

You have a hand sign

Throw what you know!

You have something that you recite at the beginning of aforementioned secret meeting

Who could ever forget "On my honor, I will try..." those words and the words to our sorority creeds will be burned into our brains forever.

You take philanthropy and fundraising very seriously

Whether it's Girl Scout Cookies season or fundraising for Service for Sight, Make a Wish, or anything else, it will be your top priority for the duration of your time in the organization.

You put your logo on everything

Everyone wants their logo and their letters on everything they own

Arts are crafts are a big deal

Whether it's making posters and scones for around the world or painting a formal cooler, our crafting skills are amazing.

Girl Scout Camp and New Member Retreat are basically the same thing

If you were lucky, your sorority took the new members somewhere really fun for your retreat, like ziplining or camping, just like in Girl Scout Camp.

You like dressing up for themes

Theme parties are some of your favorite times with friends. When your 9 the parties are father/daughter dances, when you're 19 they're swaps.

Bridging ceremonies are just like initiation

The move from Daisy to Brownie to Junior to Cadet mirrors the move from PNM to New Member to Active to Alum

Songs.

"Make new friends but keep the old" would be a great pref night song.

History

As a Girl Scout and a sorority woman you know the ins and outs of how and where you were founded, everything about your founder, and all of the details of your history. It's what makes your organization unique and you love to know everything you can.

Once you're a part of it, you're a part of it for life

You can take the girl out of the sorority (or Girl Scout troop) but you can't take the sorority out of the girl.

You'll always be sisters

A sister to me is...
