1. @betches
I first discovered Betches my Senior year of high school, and I have been obsessed ever since. You will fall in love too if you read their hilarious take on our sweet home Emory University. Their instagram account posts tweets that every woman needs to see, horoscopes, Bachelor commentary, and so much more. They share their best online articles, and I recommend to always click. (Here’s another one of my FAVORITE articles.)
2. @offcampus
Ok, so my Instagram feed is almost entirely @betches and @offcampus, betches’ college account. The offcampus Instagram is actually so relatable it sometimes hurts. The best posts are recreated search bars for specific colleges with questions every student wants to know. Here’s Emory’s.
You’ve probably seen an overheard something account on your explore page. They run on submissions from followers so you could DM them and have a moment of fame! Reading the crazy sh*t students and professors say at colleges all around the world creates a sense of unity.
Ok, now we can get into the Emory specific Instagram accounts. I want to give a shout out to my personal heroes–the college students who anonymously run these. Overheard Emory puts out the same content as Overheard University except overheard on Emory’s campus complete with the location where they heard it. My favorites are the overheard quotes from the ESC and construction workers.
A shameless self plug–but go follow us! We let you know when we publish fun new articles, post cute female empowerment graphics, funny jokes, and pictures of our amazing team! Follow to join a community of women who support one another.
The wonderful @emorycrushes magically appeared last year and has brought out the inner Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew in all of us. Emory students DM the account a description of their crush who they had a brief interaction with. The anonymous owner then adds a clever caption and the followers start to tag who they think fits the description. Quick! If you’re not already–go follow them, and DM them ALL of your crushes.
7. @greeksgeeks
This one posts everything on Emory greek life. It’s the kind of thing where if they make fun of everyone equally it’s ok right?? They include everyone from sororities to fraternities to people not in greek life and even OFSL. They keep it very relevant with recent memes and current events in the Emory greek life world.
8. @emoryspoke
Even though we’re still recovering from the @emoryspoke epic prank, still give them a follow. The Emory Spoke is “the official humor magazine of Emory University.” In the fall, they posted a video that looked like an announcement for Lizzo to perform at the homecoming concert but then ended with a joke about the legendary frat boys from 2011 who created “The Emory Anthem”. (Before you follow any of these accounts, please go watch this music video!)
You can pretty much guess what kind of quality content this account posts by their name. They make fun of every type of student and hit every relevant Emory topic: Maggs, professors, classes, food, frats, and just about every stereotype. Follow for some occasionally funny but very relatable posts to tag your friends in.
