- You have as many practice shirts as you do sorority shirts.
- Someone saying cheerleading isn’t a sport angers you as much as when people say you pay for your friends.
- Going to the beach means there will be equal amounts of pictures throwing back tucks and throwing your letters.
- You had no problem adjusting to the full social calendar of being a sorority because you were used to spending the same amount of time in the gym.
- You have a love/hate relationship with recruitment, just like you had a love/hate relationship with national competitions.
- The recruitment chair always uses you as an exemplary door stack because of your tight motions and awesome facials.
- You’re the one doing everyone’s hair during recruitment because you can make anyone’s hair hold a curl.
- Your ankles, knees, and hips pop all. the. time.
- People assume you joined a sorority or became a cheerleader for the social status, but let’s be real, that’s only half of it.
- You could probably still do a heel stretch if you tried.
- And the splits.
- You just tried to do a heel stretch and the splits, just to prove you could.
- Rushing as a freshman was basically as stressful and fun as cheer camp.
- Your sisters always include stunts or tumbling in skits, solely to show off your incredible skills.
- You can throw a back handspring at any given time.
- Neither cheerleading nor sorority life is all about looks, but you’d be lying if you said it didn’t matter.
- You don’t need help doing a keg stand. You’ve known how to hold a handstand for years.
- The bonds of sisterhood are just as strong in a team as they are in a sorority.
- You trust your sisters as much as you trusted your stunt group.
- If there are cheerleaders in your family, you have a family stunting picture.
- Everyone assumes you’re stupid because you’re in a sorority and you were a cheerleader. Joke’s on them. You learned a long time ago no pass, no play.
- Your daily uniform of Soffe shorts and cheer shirts were replaced with Norts and letters.
- Your room in high school was filled with trophies and cheer memorabilia, and now your dorm in college is filled with everything sorority.
- You’re one of the lucky few who don’t lose her voice during recruitment, because you know how to yell with your diaphragm.
- You didn’t gain the freshman 15 because you can’t imagine going a week without going to the gym.
- If you were a flyer, you’re always the one at the bottom of the doorstack, and you have the knee bruises to prove it.
- You’ve almost said “Yes, coach” instead of “Yes, Madame President.”
- You realize that you actually did more hazing in high school cheer than in your sorority. Whoops.
- That annoying trend of sorority girls wearing bows? It came from cheerleaders transitioning into sorority girls.
- Your work ethic and dedication to your sorority stems from your cheerleading days.
- You felt the same amount of pride getting to wear your letters for the first time as you did putting on your National Championships jacket.
- Greek Week is your time to shine.
- The leadership skills you learned being Captain/Co-captain make you a shoe-in for an exec position.
- Cheerleaders and sorority women are not at all who they are stereotyped to be.
- You can smile through anything.
- Being a cheerleader and being in a sorority is for life.
- Wearing you letters, like wearing your uniform, is a privilege, and you treat it as such..
