16 Things Sorority Girls Hate Being Asked About Ritual

Being in a sorority changes your life in many different ways. You have more new friends then you know what to do with, you immediately have a home away from home and you now get bombarded with questions about what exactly a sorority does. From recruitment to philanthropy, people just love to ask you questions like, "So, it's like paying to have friends, right?" Out of all the questions, the majority of them are aimed at ritual. Before you go witch hunting and asking a thousand questions that waste our time, here are questions you should never ask a sorority girl about ritual.

1. Do you have to sacrifice anything?

You're done. Leave.

2. Is there anything involving a goat?

Nope, definitely no goats. Where would we even keep them?

3. What do you do with those paddles?

Nothing? They're just decorative and more of a symbol of love and congratulations when you give or receive one.

4. Are you sure there's no blood oath involved? You can tell me if there is.

Really? You really think there's something involved with blood? No.

5. Why do you HAVE to do ritual?

Celebrating and remembering our founders is not dumb, and actually it is something we look forward to. Bye, Felicia.

6. It's like Animal House, right?

Do you have any idea what real Greek life is about? That we have standards, goals and sisterhood? Movies shouldn't be your only look into Greek life.

7. Can you show me your secret handshake?

Then it wouldn't be a secret! It's something special between sisters, lets one another know that they share the same values and are apart of the same organization.

8. Do you guys worship Satan or something?

Really? You think our founders, women of distinction and scholarship, were all secretly devil worshipers? Sorry, but not everyone is in the Illuminati like you think.

9. What's up with the whole black and white dress thing?

It's a dress code that is easy for everyone to follow? That's really about it.

10. Do you have to be naked?

No. I can guarantee you that no one is naked and that no one wants to be naked during ritual. That would just be hella uncomfortable for everyone involved.

11. So, essentially, you're a cult of pretty girls, right?

Thank you for thinking we're all pretty! But, sadly, no, we are definitely not a cult; we have free will and a voice in how we run our chapters.

12. Do you wear Grim Reaper cloaks?

Seriously, you watch too many bad movies.

13. Isn't that when you haze all the new people?

Sisters do not haze; ritual, especially, is not the place. Are you aware of all the rules and safeguards that are in place to make sure hazing doesn't happen?


14. Don't all sororities have the same ritual?

Every sorority is a different organization with their own rules and rituals, so no.

15. Do you have to make out with your sisters?

Why do you even think that is a thing?

16. Seriously, why can't you tell me what happens?

Unless you become a member of a Greek organization, you will never know. It's comparable to a secret family recipe; do you share that sacred, special family secret with just anyone?

Do yourself and every sorority girl a favor, don't ask us these questions anymore.

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.
