29 Things Every Sorority Girl Did With Her Sisters

Oh to be an active again. Your sorority membership could get you a discount with GEICO on your insurance policy. How awesome is that?

1. Shared weekly dinners...around as few tables as possible.

You always made room because the chapter was always growing!

2. Learned the importance of specific symbols, signs, songs, sayings, and gestures.

So. Many. Long. Hours.

5. Attended Greek Life competitions to cheer on your sisters.

The pride you felt when they nailed it in front of the whole community was the best!

6. Melded wardrobes into one massive collection.

Sisters share.

7. Killed it (or at least tried to) at some Greek Life intramurals.

Sure, winning wasn't "everything" — it was all about "the fun."

8. Raided the kitchen after a fun night out for late-night snacks.

The best inside jokes were birthed in that kitchen.

9. Took spring break trips together rolling deep!

There were no advisors, so you had fun at your own risk.

10. Got each other out of bed on time for philanthropy events.

Together it felt like you could change the world.

11. Learned choreographed steps and broke them out whenever possible.

12. Handled "advisor awkwardness" with grace and poise.

You just had different ideas of "fun" is all.

13. Regardless how big the house was, you all hung out in one specific bedroom.

You couldn't help it — it's just more fun to cram in there than to spread out in the living room.

14. You posed on stairs...

Well, really anywhere that made it easier to see everybody.

15. ...and perfected the "sorority squat."

Same thing, different day.

16. You rocked matching outfits on purpose.

17. Or sometimes on accident.

Unavoidable because you basically had the same wardrobe.

18. You tried to start traditions you hoped would live on past your time...

"This will be really cool to show my daughter 20 years from now. I mean, if everyone continues to do this..."

19. ...and became roommates (and best friends) with your littles.

They grew up so fast.

20. You somehow pulled off sharing ONE bathroom with 15 (maybe more?) girls.

How you got anywhere on time is still a complete mystery.

21. You traveled to conventions.

22. ...and met amazing alumnae that paved the way for your experience.

Your connection defied distance and time.

23. You got fancy together for the formal events...

24. ...and, well, the opposite for any themed party.

Tacky wedding anyone?

25. Which, of course, meant you inevitably shared a ride in an old school bus together.

SAFETY FIRST...then all the fun in the world.

26. You graduated!

And acknowledged that you were no longer actives.

27. And then you had the honor of being in each other's weddings...

28. ...where you took a moment for tradition (even though it was maybe a little awkward that no one else knew what was going on).

All that mattered was that you all stood in a circle, held hands, and sang your song (that you kind of remembered).

29. And now you're able to look back at the awesome support system you have of sisters all over the country.
