its crazy to think that it is ABC Family that has created one of my favorite all-time television shows. Thank goodness for TiVo*, b/c without that i wouldn't even have realized that the 2nd season of Greek started last week! Um, yay!If you haven't seen this comedy about Greek life** you are totally missing out. watching Casey and her Zeta Beta Zeta girls bond totally makes me reminiscent & missing my soro days...
...our theme date parties where dressing up as a sailor was sexy.
...dressing to the nines for our formal where our trendy transportation vehicle was the drunk bus.
...being wasted on homecoming by 7am....just so we could watch a parade where the clowns throw candy at us!
...house boys who set our dinner table, gathered chairs, cleared the dishes, & packed up leftovers all for free just to have dinner with us. Hot Dam! Delta Gam!
...a cook, a maid, & a house mom to look after me and my 32 roommates who shared 3 bathrooms! (yeah i miss it)
...sharing a quad with 3 girls whom i had never met before & who later became my bestest friends!
...being #1 in rush... EVERY YEAR :)
...raiding the Phi Delt house.... and running off with their doorknobs!
...the sunshine basket
...my greek family... my grand big who is a nurse, big who is now a lawyer, my little who is in law school....and it goes from there....
...but mostly i miss coming home after a long day of classes and having my bffs there.
my sisters to talk to/complain to/gossip with/laugh with/cry with. i miss the bonding, the socializing, and the daily friendship.
my best friends today still include my sorority sisters. my big, my little, my roomies, my pledge class! every cliché friendship quote is totally relevant here. and since i am a sorority girl... im gonna get all gushy.... here are some of my favorites!
"If I paid for my friends, I surely didnt pay enough"
"Sorority sisters are the siblings God forgot to give us"
"From the outside looking in, you can never understand it. From the inside looking out, you can never explain it"
"Sorority sisters are the siblings God forgot to give us"
"From the outside looking in, you can never understand it. From the inside looking out, you can never explain it"
and because every good sorority girl has to be a lil bit bitchy....
Today, we salute you, Sorority Girl. In your pointed-stilettos, you understand that having blisters and cramped pinky toes is a small price to pay for the approval of your peers. Sure, your Vera Bradley bag and oversized pearls may appear to have been stolen from your grandmother, but we rest assured that your Daddy bought them for you fair and square. And yes, you may be snobby to every guy that approaches you, but we know that you're only doing them a favor. So crack open an ice-cold Bud Light, Sorority Girl, because everyone knows that behind your dyed blond hair and falsely tanned skin there sits a real person in the driver seat of that Lexus SUV, and that real person...is a pale brunette.***
go greek.
and if your college days are far behind you... go watch Greek & you can live vicariously through the Zetas!
**If when i say 'Greek life' you think of Feta, Astoria, or a 'big fat wedding' you have the wrong idea. Greek life... in my blog.... means: Go Delta Gamma.... sorority/fraternity... bitch bags, flip cup, and mixers!
***even i went blond in soro days.... but now im back to loving my chocolate locks!
PS Casey is played by Spencer Grammer... who is Kelsey Grammer's daughter... who i like, love!
