Top Ten Things That Happen When A Tomboy Joins A Sorority

Because let's face it. You've gone from scraped knees, video games, and hip guy friends to a hoard of girls.

Hooray!

You've joined a sorority! You now have maybe 120 new girls in your life. You're rushing to meet every single one of them and meet your future bridesmaids and bond in the essence of sisterhood! It's time to get showered in cute, repetitive chants, lots of letters, events, etc. You name it, you have it all. But what are you going to do with all your sports t-shirts from all the past years, the scars from falling off bicycles with your guys, and the chill you always experienced doing nothing but playing video games? Here are the top ten things a tomboy will most likely experience upon joining a sorority.

10. I should have known that pink would be involved in joining a group of girls.

You've never worn pink willingly in your life, and you didn't realize that with the cute, mandatory t-shirts, you would eventually end up with a shockingly pink t-shirt. After you wear it, should you burn it, or bury it in the darkest corner of your closet? You struggle to put on a genuine smile while wearing the most shameful color of your life, but are somehow able to pull it off with your sisters.

9. I've never been kissed this much. Not even by boys.

The only kisses you've gotten are from your grandparents or that one boyfriend you had in high school. And now in every picture, one of your sisters is always kissing your cheek. SO YOUR FIRST COLLEGE KISS ISN'T EVEN FROM A GUY. And it's totally normal for these girls too. This is the ultimate shock. Not even pink t-shirts comes close to this.

8. SO. MANY. PICTURES.

Speaking of taking pictures with new girls you've just met, THESE GIRLS TAKE SO MANY PICTURES. And they feel the need to take a picture for every event. Going out for a quick lunch? There's a picture for that. Movies? Picture. Staying in and ordering pizza? There's a picture for that too. The only pictures before joining a sorority were the pictures your mom made you stand awkwardly for on your first day of school. And now the unofficial photo shoots can last for up to an hour when all you want to be doing is sitting and watching the game on T.V.

7. Should I be worried about throwing up these gang signs? Wait, they aren't gang signs?

We all know the "throw what you know" phrase. But do I have to do this everywhere I go just to show everyone that I'm in a sorority? Whatever, I'll just throw it then.

6. You loved America before, but now you take a picture in front of a flag at every possible moment.

And suddenly America is spelled 'Murica. I don't understand, but yes I will take another picture with you.

5. SO. MUCH. SCREAMING.

Is someone excited about something? Yes? Then they are most likely screaming about it. And you are the one person standing there with a scowl on your face thinking about how the screams will continue to echo in your ears while you lay in bed that night. Thankfully, Regina George will say what you need to, so that you don't have to.

4. Guys don't want to be your friend like your other guy friends, they only want to hook up with you.

If you ask a guy to play FIFA with you, he'll act really nice and say yes. But when you actually start playing, he moves closer and closer to you, and then you realize that this isn't just a game of FIFA, this is a game of getting the hell away from this guy. So much for a video game connection.

3. The horror that overcomes you when you realize that you have begun speaking like your sisters.

WHY AM I SAYING LITERALLY SO MUCH? WHY DO I SAY I CAN'T EVEN WHEN I REALLY CAN? And all the "likes" that have made their way into my sentences… this is a moment where I literally can't even.

2. Girl Drama

One day, you snap and actually tell someone that they're annoying you, and they start up a whole dramatic tantrum about what a B-word you are, and every time you see them afterwards, they act like they're "literally so hurt right now".

No one told me that petty drama would be included in the package.

1. Everything I eat is "SOOO TOTALLY FATTENING"

You're saying that whenever I order a large cheese fries, a burger, a whole large pizza, or just some ice cream, I'm going to go through a whole dramatic scene that "oh my god, you're gonna gain so much weight from that!" Or people constantly asking you if you know how many calories are in what you're eating.

Yes I know, and it's delicious. Do you want some?

But despite it all, finally being in a group of amazing women is the best.

Whatever happens, drama, food hate, screaming, or anything else, you now have 120 girls who understand your girl problems and will always be there for you no matter what. They'll always be there to yell at those bad boys who screw around with your head, and they'll be there for you with a hug, Disney movie, and a tub of ice cream when you need it most. And that's what's so awesome about having 120 new sisters in your life.

So I have NO RAGRETS. Not even one letter.
