No matter the letters, we're all tied together.

Why Having a Best Friend From Another Sorority Is The Tops

So there's that girl you meet on the very first day of rush and you totally insta-crushed on her. You so desperately wanted her to be in your house, but alas she wears different letters now.

But don't worry. It's totally cool. Having a sister from another house is one of the greatest things ever. 

1. It's not a competition with them. 

We all know that there is some inner competitiveness in every sorority. It's just a girl thing. But with your BFFFAH (Best Friend Forever From Another House), it just doesn't register. You don't need to compete with them for the perfect little, who can put more glitter on crafts, or the presidency of the house. They have their own house to deal with.

2. They understand Greek. 

Greek life is kind of a hard concept for someone on the outside to fully grasp.  Especially when you start talking in abbreviations such as GGB, GGGF, TSM, ect. Like that quote "From the outside looking in, you can't understand it. From the inside looking out, you can't explain it."

3. You can never ruin a surprise. 

We all know that there are those times (ie: Big/Little Reveal or Pinnings) where you are literally going to burst if you don't tell everybody everything right in that moment. Lucky for you, you can hop on over to your BFFFAH's house and just spill. And they totally understand secrecy too. Whatever you say to them goes into the back of their secrets chamber, right next to their rituals and fraternity crushes.

4. You have your own personal cheerleader. 

Many a time, those captains for that one philanthropy event you're in will come to Monday night dinner and tell you all about how "excited they are that you're participating" and "can't wait to beat all the other sororities" in the most monotone, unenthusiastic voice you have ever heard. Your BFFFAH is different though. She is stoked beyond comparison and will go the extra mile to make sure that your poster looks better than anyone else's. She may even get some of her sisters to cheer you on, which is so fetch. Plus, when you are competing against her, at least she is right there on your side slogging through event after event so you won't need to fill her in later.

5. You are loved. 

I know that you are already loved by your sisters. But she's your best friend. Her love is deeper than the pile of debt you have waiting for you after graduation. And no matter the social status of your two houses, nothing will be able to break the bond you have.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
