Hi, this is your friendly neighborhood reality check here: not to be a dick or anything, but if you’re trying to opt for healthier options but still want to drink (because how the hell else are we going to get through a semester from hell?), avoid sugar free syrups please. For the love of your own body, either make sure said syrup does not contain aspartame or stick with agave as suggested. Food and drinks containing aspartame—like in the form of substitute sweeteners—increase migraines, impede weight loss, increase sugar cravings and withdrawals, along with a whole other host of bad side effects.
Be careful before you suicide…I obviously don’t know how it is at all universities, but at mine, if you suicided, you automatically were put at the bottom of your choice sorority’s bid list, no matter how high that sorority ranked you. I don’t know if that was our awful Greek advisor’s choice, or just the way our system worked, but it screwed a lot of girls that we had as top choices.
It’s an opinion piece. Everyone is entitled to theirs. If you don’t like hers, don’t give her the attention she wants by engaging her. Nothing any of you say is hurting her, you’re just giving her more clicks on her article (and I don’t know if TSM works the same way the Odyssey does because I don’t give enough fucks, but if it does you’re just getting her paid more as well). For the love of all things holy, there are so many more worthy causes to be giving your attention to than whether or not you agree with what someone wrote on an article about engagement rings.
No, I’m sorry, but this is in relation to regular black coffee, not your one-shot-twelve-pump-white-mocha-diabetic-coma-waiting-to-happen fake coffee drink.
I just found out on Saturday that my pledge sister/best friend of 3 years has been talking shit about me behind my back for the entirety of those three years, in just the right way that I haven’t found out until now. So safe to say I’m not in this nice state of being happy for her yet. Hopefully I’ll get there one day.
I love this article…until it gets to the point of shaming “top tier” sororities. The “top” ones aren’t all about looks or money either. We also possess a strong sisterhood. We are kind and we love each other, and we value those things way more than the superficial things that you implied mattered most to top tier sororities. Loving your sisterhood doesn’t mean bashing the others. We chose each other, too. We could’ve been your big, your chapter president, your standards chair…but we chose what happened to be a top tier sorority, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
To be honest, even though I know the Taylor/Nicki beef is over and no one is worried about it anymore, Nicki’s tweet was totally off base. The other female nominee was freaking Beyoncé, whose videos all feature her butt/legs which are not the stereotypical skinny white girl features you’d find on Taylor Swift and her friends. Nicki’s tweet was a direct hit at Taylor, whether she wants to admit it or not. Saying something like “culture only celebrates skinny white girls and that’s why I wasn’t nominated” is completely ignorant considering the other female nominee.
While I agree that you should give “bottom tier” sororities a chance, I don’t agree that saying “I had to force conversation with this sorority” or “I just didn’t fit right with them” is a lie. I chose to drop one of the “top tier” sororities after the second night because I felt the same way. Assuming that this girl is saying the conversation was forced just because they were bottom tier isn’t really fair if you weren’t even there. Sometimes it really just isn’t a good fit, otherwise there’s no point in doing anything other than circling a random sorority on a piece of paper and rushing them. Isn’t that the point of finding your home?

*guess “both” isn’t quite the wording I was going for here
When both your university, your state, and other chapters of your sorority make this list…AOT, KD ladies! And congrats Danny

I was amused. Chill out. No one is forcing you to take TSM so seriously, you’re all choosing to.
“How dare TSM publish something that applies to college aged females everywhere?! That’s not their demographic!”
Nah being a sasshole is too much fun. Especially as a barista.

**laissez-faire. Use spell check or know your French/economic terms if you’re going to try to outsmart someone.
Doing this next time my hot regular comes in
Journeys Through Amaretto & Rompers: A Boat in the Harbor is Safe, but That’s Not What Boats Were Built For. (Wtf dude)

It’s so cute when sororities tip off TSM about dumb shit in order to try and embarrass other chapters…how Panhellenic. Way to go ladies 🙂
DANNYYYYY YOU MADE TSM

That we like to swim? If you think dancing around in bikinis = these women have no values, then you’re part of the problem.
Leigh Anne Tuohy was also a KD! Just throwing that out there
