The 7 Things You Should Know About Sorority Recruitment
Sorority Rush: the Harry Potter sorting hat of your college experience, only with much nicer outfits and choreographed singing and dancing. You’re probably hoping I’m about to tell you how to make it into your supposed dream house or a top tier sorority. Sorry to say, not going to happen.
5 Theme Parties Everyone Goes to in College
Parties in college are inevitable. My friends and I all trudge through our week, dreading that test on Tuesday and that paper due Friday, looking forward to our social agenda filled with predictable house parties and impromptu bar crawls on the weekend. Sometimes it does get a little monotonous…

Sorority Girls and Slooter Cahooters Hit the UK
Almost every university has at least a few sororities and fraternities, and, at many schools, the Greek system is the biggest part of student life. But it doesn’t really exist anywhere outside America. Until now. A new reality show on TLC is following a group of girls as they try to change that. I think everyone, regardless if they’re in a sorority or not, can enjoy this one.
The Biggest Lies About Sorority Life
A whole article could be dedicated to someone’s opinion on why going Greek is amazing, but I’m not here to write specifically about that. What I am here to write about are the most common stereotypes that apply to sororities in particular and why these stereotypes are not always truth.
10 Places Your Letters Do Not Belong
For girls in sororities, your letters are a source of pride. They represent your house and your sisterhood. I am a firm believer in respecting one’s letters because I wouldn’t want to embarrass my house in any way. There are certain rules like that you shouldn’t drink while wearing your letters, whether they’re on your clothing or printed on your cup. I personally don’t want the ghosts of my founders haunting me because I made a ridiculous choice in where I put my letters.
The Freshmen 15 Isn’t Real! And Other College Myths Debunked
Despite the many campus tours we were all forced to attend and information sessions at random hotels in your hometown, nothing really does college life justice. Recently the Freshmen 15 fable was debunked and with that I have set on a quest to expose the harsh truths of college life.
6 Fictional Universities I Wish I Attended
College is awesome. But every now and then I turn on the TV and catch a glimpse of a fictional one that just looks better. Non-stop parties, non-stop drama and perfect weather dominate my TV screen while I slip into the world of pseudo-college.

The Ingredients for a Frat Party
As a senior member of Greek life, I consider myself an expert in the art of the frat party. I’ve been to countless rush parties, grab-a-dates and semi-formals during my college career and I’ve assembled the crucial elements to create a typical frat party. So gather round students and listen up as I go through the essential ingredients to have the ultimate (and ultimate, I mean typical) frat party.
Greek Speak: It’s Spring Break, Baby!
So it’s Spring Break and I only have two words: hell yes. Here are the top 10 ways Greeks keep it, well, Greek on vacation.
USC Frat E-mail Shocks and Appalls, But I’m Just Appalled
Behind closed doors, when guys aren’t trying to score a “Guap n’ Drop” by taking women out to dinner and pretending like they actually believe they are human beings, this is how a lot of men talk. Not all men, but a lot of them, and especially a lot of college guys who have yet to reach the stage of wanting a real relationship and are only concerned with scoring “pies”.
Greek Speak: What NOT to Do
No one’s perfect, not even the quintessential sorority girl. We all make mistakes, do dumb things, have regrets, and that’s only exacerbated when you’ve got an abundance of alcohol, estrogen and strong opinions. But which of those faux pas are forgotten by the time breakfast rolls around and which will forever ruin our reputations?
The Weekly Ten: Why You Should (Have) Watch(ed) Greek
So this week’s Weekly Ten is going to be a little bit different. Normally I’m complaining about something. Wanting something. Pretending something or just plain going with whatever comes to mind at that moment, but this week, the Weekly Ten is honoring something. It’s honoring Greek (The tv show, not the food.) because Greek is ending this week.
Greek Speak: Holiday Bonding
So yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Not that you needed that (brutal) reminder; the aisles at CVS said it all. If you were one of the lucky few of us (not me) that were whisked away on some romantic fairytale-like evening… well, good for you. But I don’t wanna hear about it.
Greek Speak: Should Recruitment Be….Frilly?
We are officially well into spring semester, and if you are a sorority girl that only means one thing: recruitment. For some it’s the first round of rush for the school year. For others, this is not your first recruitment rodeo. If you fall into the latter category, bless your little hearts! That’s dedication, people.
Greek Speak: What’s With All The Negativity?
Hazing. It’s a touchy subject, and by “touchy” I mean one that we never want to touch on… or ever be a part of. I happen to come from a very anti-hazing chapter and university, both of which take ample precautions to eliminate hazing. Yet at colleges across the country, hazing still exists. And it exists in student groups and organizations that don’t have Greek letters in their names.
