When you think about sororities, you usually imagine a big group of girls that sit and paint their nails together while they talk about how Chad from Sigma Apple Pie made it onto the Barstool page over the weekend.
While that’s a valid assumption, joining a sorority might involve some aspects that, while not necessarily bad, you probably haven’t considered:
1 – The mass amount of “happy birthday!” Instagram stories you are morally obligated to post.
While you may not be ultra-close with every girl in your sorority, you’re still all sisters. And it’s rude not to wish your sister a happy birthday, right? So, you better pick out a cute picture, switch to the typewriter font, and post that story for the birthday girl.
2 – A whole lotta (bare) ass
Between the communal bathrooms and shared bedrooms, it’s impossible not to see any fewer than at least three naked bodies per day. Free the nipple, baby.
3 – The bathroom scaries
Some girls are more brave and open than others. These are the girls who have conquered their fear of pooping in a public bathroom. Others, well, imagine: every bathroom in your house is a communal bathroom. You can’t poop without someone else knowing. Yeah, it definitely takes some getting used to. Can we get some applause for our brave soldiers?
4 – How much time you spend singing the catchy, slightly (okay, very) scary door chants.
Remember the terrifying ADPi door chant that went viral on Twitter? It’s still stuck in my head months later. I’m not even in ADPi, but… boom boom.
5 – To be able to force frat boys to wash your dirty dishes
Technically, houseboys are paid to work in the kitchen and clean used plates and silverware. It’s definitely way more fun than just having regular staff – down with the patriarchy!
