This is probably my biggest pet peeve about being Greek it’s this is like probably the one thing that I actually really really really really really really cannot outweighs Iraq natural but you believe it doesn’t ready but with dark-skinned people drops I bought some Hennessy bodies naked people

Time I upload well exactly on this video yeah I don’t know why y’all here I am doing the cons of being in a sorority to day now I want to point out that there are way more pros to being in a sorority and I’m going to be doing a video on the
Pros of doing being in a sorority next just so you guys know I don’t hate being in a sorority I love it to death the pros outweigh the cons 10 fold over but there are some things about being in a sorority that I wish were not like that
That were different and a few other people have also shared some of their experiences about being in a sorority that they wish were different as well some of these can be applied to fraternities but obviously I’m in a sorority I’m also in the color fraternity but I’m not in a boy’s
Fraternity so therefore I don’t know nothing about that fruit but some of it can be applied to that – some of them complain about some of the same things that we complained about over here on the sororities so if you guys enjoyed this video don’t forget to give it a thumbs up don’t
Forget to comment down below any questions that you guys might have if you guys don’t want to come and humble up they’re too personal you can DM me on any of my social media networks or you can also personal message me on youtube itself so with that being said I just
Filmed a video of a Q&A where people send me questions through my social media if you guys missed that you can check out that video it will be somewhere over here and also it will be linked down in the description box below and if you guys want to you know link up
With me on social media networks y’all can ask me more questions alright so let’s get started with these cons of being in a sorority con number one would be instant fame so with being in a sorority you automatically just become very well known around campus and it’s
Kind of like a overnight thing so you know because people obviously don’t know that you’re joining your sorority until you probate and come out and everybody’s like oh so let solution about me I’m gonna top of myself in particular I was not someone who was very well known around campus I did not
Go to events like that I was not up in people face like that I was not a super-duper people person I am an introvert so a lot of times I stayed in my room in my home around my select few friends that was not very well known so
When I came out the next day I was in class people who never talked to me was speaking to me people I’ve never seen before in my name they were all saying hey you know I’m not a being person so obviously I said hi back but it was just
Very very strange weird and uncomfortable for me because I was not to all of this random overnight attention that I was getting I’m like what the heck I just want to go back to being semi-invisible and only talking to people I know so that’s kind of happy with that all eyes
Is lurking so over being an overnight celebrity on campus is kind of crazy you get all these random followers on your social media accounts also it’s just everything happened so fast it’s a lot to do with overnight the next thing is groupies and this kind of just falls
Into what I was just talking about about people you don’t know I was sitting knowing you which isn’t a problem the part where because probably get groupies those people who want to be in your face they compliment everything you do just because they want to know someone that’s be around someone that’s
Greek or try to get on to become Greek you get all these people just flocking also like you get a lot of attention from the opposite sex that you didn’t get before and don’t get me wrong I always been cute I look the same all my
Life you know I always been cute and I’ve never been one to be like oh I don’t get enough attention I got enough attention but now it’s like overkill like I get all these random sending me games I get people sending me inappropriate DMS that I don’t ask for I just got mad
Real quick yeah that pisses me off oh but anyways it’s just crazy like people send your new senior dims and they they thirst after you and everybody wants to tell you how beautiful and amazing you are when nobody noticed you or when to say these things before it’s all just really
Groupie ish like now you have a responsibility to not only represent yourself but your organization as a whole it is so overwhelming um it’s a lot of pressure to uphold so if you’re not used to being an influence or inspiration for other people it can be completely a huge
Freaking deal for me I was used to people looking at me for like academic stuff and for inspiring them for other things I was not looking used to people looking at me in a Greek way so um it wasn’t really new but it was just a lot
More people looking at me and watching me and basically you know I have young girls now who do you mean tell me they look up to me I have you know girls who I once sat you know next to in class every day that you know now are looking
At me to uphold a whole nother standard than I was before you know you now have to represent the principles of your organization and the letters even when you’re not wearing the letters you’re still wearing the letters so like if I don’t have on any paraphernalia anything that says if I be
No blue or white nothing like that on me I’m still as ADA when I walk outside my house I’m still saying inside my house I’m just I’m still is ADA no matter what so even if I go to school and I’m not wearing anything that says say this I
Painted on it somebody’s gonna recognize me and be like that say that so if I’m at the club and I’m just lucky drunk which I don’t drink at all but just I’m just using myself as an example not using red heelless as an example but if
I’m at the club and I’m like sloppy drunk they’re like dang that Satan was so up last night or if I’m in the club and I’m fighting they’re gonna be like dang the Zetas was fighting at the club like they’re not you’re no longer your name unfortunate as that is unless I
Knew you personally before I became the Satan you refer to me as that satyam that’s just how it is you’re no longer you you’re no longer your name you’re that data those data’s dizziness like that’s just how it is unfortunately or that whatever is your part of I’m using things as an example
Cuz that’s what I have but you know this applies to all organizations you represent your organization with or without your letters once you remember you remember for life and people will forever know you asked the member of that organ so you represented it at all times the next one is that
You’re always busy always freaking busy if you didn’t have a life before you now have a life that is now overwhelmingly your sorority if it’s not business and meetings and community service and from and and and recruitment and promoting and parties and step shows and yard shows and Stroke loss and whatever else
Didn’t oh it’s your life sister’s birthday oh it’s your Santa bursary oh it’s you know it’s Founders Day oh it’s your charter dance it’s something always like there’s nothing there’s never a day that there’s nothing going on like you’re always busy you’re always busy planning you’re always going to be
Participating you’re always busy going to support other organizations it is always busy there’s always something to do and as fun as it is and as great as it is and I love all of the activities that I get to do but sometimes you just miss your normal pranks sometimes you
Just want to hang out with your friends who are not members of organizations sometimes you just want to have alone time and stay in the house and sleep and watch Netflix all day instead of being in meetings for five hours sometimes you just want to just chill and be samaya so
That’s one thing about joining the sorority that you’re going to have to prepare yourself for is that you no longer will have a lot of knee time you have a lot of them time in us time but it won’t be a lot of me time you’ll have
Your a few days out of the year of me time but once you’re part of a sorority especially in the beginning when you’re your first year or two you are very very hands-on you’re expected to do a lot because you have to learn the organization to pass the torch on so
Until you pass the torch on you are the one they’re looking at like y’all got it there’s no job you got it good oh yes and also I’ve held you know several eboard positions within my organization and that’s another thing those are huge responsibilities to take
On lunch or to eat more position your even more involved in a normal member who does not hold a position and depending on the size of your chapter you’re going to be very involved anyway if you have a small chapter because all hands got to be on deck to complete some
Of these things and make sure everything runs smoothly if you have a large chapter people could disappear and nobody will notice but in my chapter of 20-something girls if somebody disappears for a we were like where you at why didn’t come help so it’s none of that okay so the next
One is financial responsibility you now have a whole new bill to pay because now you have dues you have you know t-shirts you have traveling expenses you have you know donations and things like that gas all kind of stuff you now have you know a whole nother financial responsibility
And it seems like you are spending a lot of money towards your organization but it’s fine because you know you know it’s going to come right back out to you as part of your organization and you know it’s just it’s just part of what it is
It’s a business that’s how it runs but you now have a whole nother financial responsibility so if you’re not financially stable it can be stressful but the thing is is I’ve been through that you know I’ve been through times where I’ve been financially stable and
Able to just you know dish it out and I’ve been through times where I wasn’t financially staying with I’m like yeah I can’t get these matching t-shirts which are this time and the story will just drop it in my my cash app Square cash whatever and I’m like oh girl you’re so
Sweet she was like nah girl you’re not about to be sitting now you gonna match us so you know it kind of it’s okay you know but it can be stressful when you you know everybody’s like we’ve had to go out to eat together as sisters and you
So I’m gonna money so I can go you know stuff like that but you know usually they’re sisters that you know if they have it they’ll definitely help you and vice versa when you have it you help them so but it is definitely a whole new financial responsibility with becoming a member of
A sorority it is not cheap y’all fake people and this goes on to the groupies except for these are not people that are looking at you to try to date you for the cloud these are people who are trying to get on they are trying to be underneath you specifically for Zeta is
Like saying dudes might be trying to be cool with me because they want to be Sigma’s girls would be trying to be cool because they obviously want to be saying this and I think that happens with the signals too girls will try to get at them because they want to be Zetas and
They think they can put them on two different orgs by the way they can help you we can help you under that so the Navy pays this is where you know you have the issue of people wanting to only be your friend because they want something from you and that this sucks
Like that is not a good feeling when you realize that that’s what’s happening it sucks you don’t like to feel used and once that person feels used maybe you didn’t lost your chances because now you just burn a bridge with that person they may have genuinely liked you y’all could
Have probably been cool and to me honestly you don’t have to fake my friend to get you know to get on if you come to me and you just be like hey I’m interested and your credential speak for themselves you don’t kind of pretend to be my
Friend and get that honey if you got what it takes then you could get online I’m not I wanted them people that just be like oh well we don’t hang out sold you you know might be that they’re something like I don’t really care about none of that
I just want my organization to thrive so if you got something to bring to the table for my organization and you really want to be a part of it then by all means boo boo just be straight up with me do not try to be my friend just for
That but we don’t mesh we don’t click and you don’t like me like that duck that big pedestals and super human personas The one thing that this is probably my biggest pet peeve about being Greek is this is like probably the one thing that I actually really really really really really really cannot stand is when people put me on a huge pedestal or give me this superhuman persona and act like
I can’t make mistakes I can’t have an opinion about certain things I can’t say or speak on certain things I can’t wear certain things you know I can’t live my life the way I always live my life because now oh you’re Greek and people are looking
At you and it’s so wrong for you to be honest because if you say that that you feel this way then other people are gonna be like you know I don’t you know my organization specifically I joined my organization because it accepts people from all walks of life all different
Opinions and and just people that are just different you know we are not the same we are not the same people we are all individuals that make up at home that hole does not make individual like we are individuals that make up that hole there will be no Zeta if there were
No members and those members are all different women who make up Zeta so and for every other organization it’s the same so I absolutely hate when people tell me you cannot feel this way you can’t say this you can’t do this you can’t participate mecca’s it’s not a
Good look that ended up as long as I’m not doing it with my letters on and saying this is what Zeta feels this is a representation of how the organization feels then I’m not doing anything wrong in any of my videos especially because someone tried me someone tried me on my
On my videos you know you were um any of my videos especially if I am representing my organization in that video I always put in the in um the description if you guys have noticed if you ever ready there’s always a disclaimer that let you know that
These views and opinions are only mine and mine alone I don’t represent any organization or any entity other than as I self so that is important and that’s one of the things that I just don’t like I’m not I’m human like anybody else I
Make mistakes I bleed I cry I I do wrong sometimes and I correct myself and and how I gracefully you know stand back up after I fall and correct myself and do better is what represents me nothing else you know at the end of the day I
Was samaya before I became a member of this organization and yes I will absolutely do everything I can to make sure that I represent my organization in the best light possible but I’m not perfect no one is and we all fall short at times and we’re all different and
We’re not all going to be the same so don’t expect anything more of me than the Lord expects of you for all you are corporations out there and as preacher to me okay the next one is politics oh my god this one is a big one as well it
Doesn’t really bother me as much as I’m so used to it now but this one is a very big one especially on my campus politics certain organizations getting special treatment getting you know higher recognition or preference over other organizations on your campus and that does not mean among the peers and
Students because that’s gonna happen anyway they’re all gonna have their fan favorite it happens and those fan favorites fall from grace and then another one rises up and then that will falls down and another one rises up I ain’t talking about that because people on campus are very fickle they don’t
Have a favorite but what I’m referring to is faculty and staff on your campus College University whatever if they’re members of musician or the staff or faculty is made of majority members of a certain organization just know that that organization can never lose that organization will never get in trouble
For anything wrong that organization will always have first pick will always you know have preference it is what it is and then the organizations that don’t have is my representation when it comes to faculty and staff who have been have to just work that much harder to build
Their own reputation their name and do what they have to do but that is just what it is the politics of it all are very annoying that’s one con of being in a sorority or Greek organization period and the last one is fake beef and rumors
And we’re all guilty of this to some extent if you just watch yard shows and step shows and things like that there’s always this fake B’s some of them are real some beefs a real angle lie some people really do beef with other organizations that that’s real life sometimes but majority of it
Is just propaganda and it sells it brings attention and brings cheers it makes camp is like one organization over another majority of it is just rumors lies and BS they’re just playing into a stereotype we sit here we do these chants about I’m better than you because
Dissing your wack cuz this and I run the yard is another them all that stuff it’s just purely for entertainment don’t take it personally because I’m I rag on the s Shiro’s in the yard show but a lot of them I’m cool is helping like we’re cool
I go to the club but then we go we eat they be on my house we have dinner like and you know and with other organizations as well like you’ll see me in the show talking about somebody in the next you’ll see us hanging out on
The yard so do not take those things like personally and assume that that is factual actual evidence and that’s just what it is because a lot of times it’s not it’s just for show and entertainment and you know we just do these things because they’re fun they bring
Entertainment to the show and everybody wants to feel like they’re the best whoo yeah but that is the last on you guys I hope you guys enjoyed this video of my cons of being in a sorority like I said I will be doing a pros of being in a
Sorority because there are a lots but those are the cons the biggest cons I can think of of being an in the sorority or fraternity Greek life whatever so I hope that you guys enjoyed this video if you guys didn’t know any of those things that I just informed you guys with I
Hope that it was informative to you guys and it gave you an in-depth look of what sorority life is like instead of just thinking everything is peaches and cream with all great being it’s good cuz it’s not there are some things like anything they are good and bad with everything so
