"Cat" is a local girl in a local sorority. She spends most of her time with her nose in a book but still always seems to know everything that's going on, and she has one heck of a reputation for recruiting the most perfect PNMs. She got her ring by spring (okay, fine, the next fall, but whatever) and is living the dream as a semi-broke housewife.
And yes, her Little is better than yours.
Also, learn the difference between which places on campus are socially acceptable to sleep in public and which are not. Because no way will you drive/ride the shuttle/walk/whatever back to your room between that 8am and lunch EVERY time you want to nap.
2.5 years and we’re on our way to this (although he has yet to embrace my full weirdness). This sounds like the best relationship . . . because this is a little like a best friend, too! And isn’t that what it’s all about?
I apologize. It was a figure of speech, as one person has already replied. Also, it was a mild (okay, extreme) exaggeration. What I meant was (since you misunderstood, I’d like to clarify) that so many people have told me that I don’t seem like a “real” sorority girl that if each one them gave me a penny (or some other small amount of money, really), and I saved each of those pennies, they would amount to a large sum because apparently, no one seems to understand that women outside of the sorority girl stereotype can be Greek too.
I hope this clears up any misunderstanding. I thought my intent was obvious and intelligently stated. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Suggestion for next time though: If I ever state something in a way that you deem not intelligent, especially in a way that is meant to be taken as intelligent, please let me know in a less crass and passive-aggressive manner. “TheRealTruth” doesn’t have to lack a cordial package.
Some of these ring true, but some sound like they were written from someone who is NOT in a local sorority. Now, I know that isn’t true, BUT local sororities tend to have almost as many or even more “problems” involving recruitment or anything else as a national sorority. At my school, for instance, we celebrate if we get a pledge class of more than 4 girls. And I don’t think I even HAVE 11 people in my family line yet.
Our chapters last more than the 2 allotted hours and we have Facebook groups just to keep the ball rolling for the next 24hrs if needed.
No Standards? PUH-LEASE. PASS.
Can I rewrite this article?
I respect the author of this article, and some good points were made. However, I wish that more points had been made, and with more care. If a member of a national organization on my campus read this, I doubt it would do anything to improve their views of us.
Another thing… letters off, bottoms up. <<<That's our motto when we're in public. Private retreats…. well, join us and you'll find that out.
Preach it. If I had even a PENNY for how many times I’ve been told I don’t strike people as a “Sorority Girl” type, I’d never have to work another day in my life.
Or, worse, in the pitiful excuse for a Greek Center that’s in the basement of the reject gym. Everything stinks, it’s haunted, and I swear we lost a PNM in the storage room.
Oh, and the girlish squeals and laughs too. I still can’t hear from spring recruitment.
For #20, Google “Bandalettes.” Buy them. Wear them. Worship them. Write a TSM article about them. No more pressure to have a thigh gap because who doesn’t love tasteful-yet-very-sexy lace peeking out from under short-shorts or miniskirts.
Goodbye chaffing, diaper rash, and sweat “down there.”
You’re welcome.
Oh I needed this so badly!!! We have yet another orientation tomorrow and I’m so nervous, especially since I don’t participate in events and such as much as I used to (largely due to introversion). Thanks for this! I love my sisters regardless . . . so I’m ready to go bring some new introverts (and extraverts!) into the world of Greek!! Thanks Big!

^^THIS. Thank you. <3
My new life’s ambition is to be as fine as these men. 😛 Excellent job ASP!

Yes! Everything. All of this. I need a tissue. Or five. Or I should just take out stock in Kleenex.
Is someone cutting onions in here?

Thank you for this. As both a victim and a support system for other victims, this is exactly what the world needs. Good move, TSM. <3
Bonus points if your school gym has a rock wall like mine and you climb it. Just once. And pics or it didn’t happen.

Slutface McBitchtits. Greatest trash nickname EVER. I bow to you.
PREACH.

Bless you for mentioning this song. This song IS an orgasm. In and of itself.
Delightfully dirty and delicate. (You’re welcome for the alliteration.)
