8 Sorority Stereotypes We Are Sick Of Hearing About
Marissa Chappell

Being apart of Greek life can be a very scary thought for some people. It's a decision they either know they want to be a part of or they are absolutely against it. People who are against Greek life tend to say offensive things to girls who are apart of it without even knowing.

1. “You're paying for friends”

And you're not? You pay $40,000 to go to college and not only is that for an education but you are also there to make friends.

2. “So are you in the blonde sorority”

Just because you notice 20 of the girls you know are blonde, does not mean everyone is blonde. Sororities go for a certain personality, not a certain look. Obviously, they want all their girls to be put together, but they are not looking for one gene.

3. “All the girls look the same”

I'm sorry but there are 200 girls in the sorority, and if I don't know everyone, I don't think you do either.

4. “You must know all the frat boys, can you hook me up?"

Just because I'm in the sorority does not mean the only guys I talk to are frat boys. In fact, frat boys are not my usual preference of boy.

5. “Is that a top-tier sorority?”

Does it matter?

6. “I could never be in a sorority”

Then don't be. Simple as that.

From my personal experience of being in a sorority, I think Greek life has helped me so much with adjusting to living in a new state and getting used to a new atmosphere.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
