20 Women Reveal What Sorority Life is Really Like

Source: Whisper

Across the country there are thousands of sorority chapters with hundreds of thousands of members, mostly very young members, between them.

Each and every one of those members has a story to tell. What’s it like, stepping out of the home of your upbringing into this strange new social order? Independant and yet still accountable, on your own and yet part of intricate group living? Seems like it may be a recipe for a bit of a bumpy ride.

I wouldn’t know the first thing about it, though, which is why I’m so interested in these anonymous submissions from real sorority members describing their experiences.

20. “Doesn’t make an effort”

A “big” is a sort of mentor to a newcomer. Or that’s the idea, anyway.
