The Sorostitute Stereotype

Upon coming to University in the States, I quickly learned the stereotypical criteria to spot a sorostitute. These typical sorority girls are quick to spot. They usually wear leggings and a neon tank top with their sorority name or slogan on it. They wear their hair straight and have sticks for arms. If you are having trouble understanding what I am describing, go to the Rec Center and check out the girls on the elliptical who haven’t broken a sweat.

With the new semester on its way, there are a new batch of Sorority girls in my classes. This means, more classic overheard conversations.

On the first day of classes, a sorority girl sat down a couple seats away from me. Another girl walks into the classroom and surprise- she knows the girl a few seats away. The default conversation takes place, “O.M.G. I didn’t know you were in this class!!!!!!!” Another girl wearing a neon tank top walks into the classroom. She knows one of the two girls. “O.M.G. I can’t believe you are in this class!! Thank god I know someone, I was so scared I was going to be alone!!” After the default conversation ends, the true brains of these girls get tested.

There is awkward silence for a couple minutes. Then one of them lets out a sigh, and with the most confused, questioning voice, she says “I think I’m a little tired?”

I THINK I am a LITTLE tired?! Really? Really?!?! Do you seriously not know whether or not you are tired? Do you have to think of which foot goes in front of the other when you walk? I do not understand these girls.

This fall University of Arizona had the largest rush class ever. One of the girls rushing was quoted in the Daily Wildcat, “If you aren’t in a sorority, you’re the minority.” The Wildcat then went on to say that 11% of students are involved in Greek life.

Alright, I will be a part of the “minority”. I will nod my head politely when you say something. But please, for the sake of females everywhere, grow a brain because I am sick of being told to go make a sandwich.
