An Outsider's Perception Of Sororities
woollythreads.com

This week on my campus, sororities had formal fall recruitment. My definition of this: all the girls in sororities wear their sorority stuff all week and other girls (who aren't in sororities but want to be) get all nervous and dressed up and go and meet/talk about all things sorority. Then, by the end of it, hopefully the sorority they wanted to be in wanted them then all is good.

I could be and probably am completely wrong, but we'll go with it.

In my opinion, sororities are a really great thing. I'm not a sorority gal and will probably never be, but my view on it is if you're in a community where you can all relate on similar things and call each other sisters, it should be a kind and healthy environment. Also, you're in a great position to encourage and make an impact on each other.

In addition to all of that--GIRL POWER. I love the idea of a community of girls have a strong sisterhood and friendship without boys. We've grown up all of our lives with boys being around, but here is a chance to be a part of a huge thing without them. Who run the world?

Another reason why I think sororities are great is because so often, we get in with a group of girls, and they turn out to be not who we thought they were. Girls are mean. But I think sororities make the decision together on who to accept into their sisterhood, and I believe they are capable of picking really awesome girls. Sororities have the opportunity to show their sorority family and all their new members that all girls aren't scary and mean.

Sororities have such a great opportunity to be amazing organizations for the girls on college campuses. So to all the Greek Life out there: take advantage of that bond you have with the people in your sororities/fraternities. Really, truly bond as sisters/brothers. Break the stereotypes.

Also, I'm really jealous of all your free t-shirts.

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.
