“Well, yeah, I’m hotter than you, but you should pity me because your boyfriend thinks I’m hot, not hate me. All of this male attention is so tiresome. I mean, sure, I look way better in this dress we both bought than you do, but come on! It’s so hard being pretty.” Girlfriend, take a walk. Nobody is buying what you’re selling here.
I know exactly what you mean! I also went to my mother’s alma mater, and I ended up a Delta Zeta where she was a Chi Omega. The only difference was I made a deliberate choice to go DZ instead of Chi O, and I wonder all the time how my life would be different right now if I’d chosen differently. But I love my DZ sisters and I wouldn’t trade them for the world! Thankfully my mom was totally cool with it, she always told me I needed to find where I fit and she never pushed me towards Chi O.
I absolutely loved this. I hate the stereotypes that follow us as sorority women.
I have been hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping my whole life. I’ve played sports since I was in middle school. My daily attire consists of jeans and old sneakers. I go to class every single day. I have a 3.4 GPA. I’m studying wildlife biology and hope to one day have a PhD. Nothing I own is monogrammed, I never wear hair bows, and I don’t actually like Lilly Pulitzer all that much. I’ve never liked ‘The Notebook’ and my boyfriend isn’t Greek.
But I could lose myself for hours in Hobby Lobby. I like to sew, I’m obsessed with Pinterest, and I drink too much Starbucks coffee. I love taking pictures with my sisters and yes, I do in fact “throw what I know.” I actually fit perfectly into a million of the stereotypes that are assigned to sorority girls, but I never want to admit to any of that because people will brush it off as just “oh, well of course you like Gossip Girl, you’re in a sorority.”
I’m not a sorority girl. Or not just a sorority girl. I’m a person. I’m me. I’m smart and I’m outdoorsy and I’m athletic and I like to wear lipstick and get my nails done. Some of my personality fits sorority stereotypes; some of it doesn’t.
I was ready to be pissed and then I ended up laughing.

Either you were raised in the world’s tallest ivory tower or the 1910’s.

Thank you for saying this.
