You will ultimately find your home.

Here's Why You Should Rush
Total Sorority Move

You walk house to house, rain or shine. You’re dreading repeating your name, hometown, major and interesting fact again for a new group of girls for the four hundredth time. But you do it anyways because you know, somehow, it will work out and after rush is over, you’ll be welcomed with open arms to your new home with your new sisters.

But why? Why should you rush? Why go through the process?

  1. You get to meet new people. The girl sitting next to you on the couch while in the social room of a sorority during house tours could possibly end up being your sister and your new best friend.
  2. Your pledge class. The bonds that you create with the girls in your sorority is heart warming, but the bond you create with the girls in your pledge class is insane. After spending your entire New Member Education period with these girls, you’ll know almost everything about the girl that stands next to you in your line or even the girl that is girls away from you in the line.
  3. The t-shirts. The amount of t-shirts that you will buy will accumulate very quickly. And let’s not forget about the t-shirts that will be passed down to you. You’ll have a t-shirt for almost every day of the year.
  4. You’ll never be alone. Whether it’s 4pm and you need someone to go get food with you because you don’t want to go alone and all of your friends can’t go with you or 2am and you want to go on a drive and listen to music and belt out song lyrics from when you were in eighth grade, there will always be another girl ready to come with you.
  5. A family. The girls in your sorority will be your go to girls. They’ll always be there for you.
No matter how long and tiring the process is, you should do it! You learn so much about yourself and so much about the chapters. And you will ultimately find your home.

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.
