There are some sorority secrets that ordinary people just don’t get. It’s an elite group, and one of the primary skills any sorority girl knows is how to party like a pro.
Here are 14 partying habits only a sorority girl will understand.
1. Parties before clubs, any day!
Even if you head out to the clubs, the pre-party is the best part. You play games, take shots of cheap spirits and party so hard the neighbors will be complaining for weeks.
2. Costume parties are a serious matter
You can’t half-heartedly attend a costume party. The theme must be stuck to like glue, and anyone that shows up without a costume is always shamed. Plus, if you don’t spend enough time getting creative with your outfit, you miss out on half the fun!
3. When it comes to fake ID’s, sharing is caring
If you’ve never shared a few ID cards between a significant group, are you even in a sorority? If that fails, you know you can always count on the seniors to buy your drinks for you.
4. Waiting for the bouncers to switch is all part of the fun
Moody Mick wouldn’t let you in because you were a little more than tipsy, but when Smiley Sam changes with him, it’s game over, people.
5. Getting ready is practically a separate party
Lined up in front of the mirror with your sisters, you take it in turns complimenting one another, helping each other apply fake eyelashes and checking their makeup isn’t smudged. But it’s not a chore – with a few drinks and plenty of laughs, it’s like another party altogether.
6. Why buy drinks at the venue when you can drink beforehand?
You’re done with overpriced drinks at clubs. You’d much slightly down all the booze in your sorority before you head out. That way, you get a bargain (as well as very, very drunk).
7. Expertise in tying a toga is a must
There always seems to be one girl in the group who binds togas like a pro. It’s a skill rarer than an affinity for rocket science, and whichever girl is gifted in the act is practically worshipped by the rest.
8. A night out isn’t the same without the whole gang
If one sister skips the night, it feels like a hole in the heart. You’re always best when you’re all together as a family.
9. All day drinking parties are no joke
You’ve been training for the end of exam parties for months. You have an outfit prepared, a bottle of drink at the ready, and you’ve planned how to get through the whole day at the right level of drunk. You’re practically an expert now, and you’re strangely proud of it.
10. The more embarrassing you look, the better
Costume parties aren’t a time for looking good. The best costumes are the ones that make you look like an idiot. If you find the perfect outfit, you’ll go down in sorority history as a complete legend.
11. Punch is the epitome of party life
You can sniff it out like a dog chasing a rabbit. Where the punch goes, you go. Plus, since you’re such an expert, you spend a lot of time sipping it like a fine wine and comparing it to a previous party punch. Who needs a glass of red when you can sample the finest fruit punch the sorority has to offer.
12. Songs from your rush are like coming home
You may be singing different lyrics to the rest of the club, but with twenty other sorority girls at your side, you won’t be singing alone. Those songs are part of your sorority, and they mean more to you than the cool kids who know the real words to the song.
13. Being the Sober Sister of the party is the worst
The very thought makes you cringe. What’s a party when everyone else is drunker than you? It’s time to pray you can fob your role off on one of the freshmen.
14. The party debrief is almost as fun as the night itself
Getting breakfast with your sisters the next day, you sink into your seats, nauseated and tired, but ready to discuss all the fun antics of the previous night. Even if everything went wrong, you’d all do it again in a heartbeat (and you probably will tonight).
