Let’s take a quick little trip down memory lane. So two years ago, I was voted onto standards committee as a joke. My sisters thought it would be funny. I thought it would be funny. I mean honestly, it would have been fucking hilarious having the “PR Risk” (my nickname) on the standards committee. That same night, I got embarrassingly plastered and posted a picture of myself sipping a dos-a-rita with the caption “#Standards” on my Snapchat story. I was not yet 21, and I had my bitchy president as a Snapchat friend who screenshotted the picture. Needless to say, I resigned by sending a nasty email, and the email I got back said I would have been kicked off anyways. The end result was an exec hearing. I guess being on standards committee was just never in the cards for me. Boo freaking hoo.
But come on, I would be a sorority’s dream standards chair in the eyes of those sisters who understand what college is all about. Would Nationals and my sorority’s advisors approve? Fuck no. I would be their biggest nightmare. My campaign slogan would be “It’s Time You Give Someone Like Me A Shot Already, Literally.” Of course I would have policies, but they would be doable.
Alcohol Rules
- If I can’t see it in the house, as far as I’m concerned, it didn’t happen.
- It’s against the law to drink alcohol under 21, and I sure know NONE of my sisters would break the law. I’ll never question your age if you haven’t ever been put behind bars for it.
- You’re just so excited for chapter that you HAD to pregame it. Awww.
- Getting rowdy with new members is nice because you’re trying to include them in the sisterhood. So sweet!
- The only reason it’s called “formal” is because you’re supposed to dress formal. The name doesn’t imply that you can’t get trashy with booze.
- Pictures with red cups are just your aesthetic.
- If you’re in your letters while consuming spirits, we can just say you are super proud to be a member and celebrating.
- Just pass your classes. And if that’s impossible, learn to flirt with the teacher.
- If you have a problem with someone, such as noise complaints or whatever else, don’t be a pussy. Talk to them because I don’t give a shit about your drama.
- Be nice to the house mom to her face. Talk shit behind her back all you want.
- If a penis-owner is over past “hours,” just tell me he identifies as a chick.
- Be courteous and don’t eat other people’s food. That’s just fucked up.
- Booze is also referred to as “The Devil’s Water,” so just say you’re drinking aqua.
- Don’t have sex on the party bus because that’s just nasty. But provocative dancing and making out is fine. You people are just really ~in love~ for all I know.
- Refer back to “Alcohol Rules”
- Don’t say dumb shit like, “I just had a one-night stand and obviously did anal because my ass is still pounding.” You know what I’m talking about.
- Pictures with drugs aren’t cute.
- If I can’t see what’s in your cup, I’m going to assume it is Dr. Pepper.
- Your ass and tits need to be covered up enough to where people aren’t genuinely asking which corner you work on.
- As noted before, just say he identifies as a girl if he is caught after house hours.
- Maybe don’t wear your boy crush’s shack shirts that have another sorority’s letters on them in public. (Pro tip: Save those shirts for when you are belligerently drunk and need a shirt to wear while you’re puking your guts up. That’s what I do at least.)
- Don’t have sex in the open at sorority events. Save that for the bathroom or when you sneak away on the country club golf course.

Now I come back to my original thought. Why would any normal sister NOT want me as standards chair? I understand the people. I could change lives, and even better, the sorority as a whole. I would be like the messiah of messy sorority sisters. Maybe. I don’t know. I would probably get bored and grab a dos-a-rita all over again. But it’s nice to think I could make a change and not have everyone hate their standards chair for once..
