So, this morning, as the hangover started kicking my ass and last night's fatigue set in, I woke up to smiling Christiana above my head, saying "Sweetie, we let you sleep as long as we could, but we have to go. Just letting you know". I wandered into her bedroom like it was my own, kicked off her shorts that I slept in, and put back on the clothes I was wearing before informal formal. And as I walked back to my dorm with Christi, Sarah, and Lexi, I started to think about the differences between friends and sisters.
A friend will be bummed that you're missing an event because you have nothing to wear. A sister will say "No! You're coming! And you're getting ready at my house.
A friend will keep you drinking when you're drunk. A sister will take your beer and tell you you're done.
A friend will let you flirt with a terrible guy, and probably post pictures on Facebook. A sister will make you dance with her instead.
A friend might hold your hair back while you puke. A sister will threaten to take pictures, and you know she might be completely serious.
A friend will make sure you get back to your room safe at night. A sister informs you that you are sleeping on her couch, whether you want to or not.
A friend will laugh when you get pantsed in public. A sister is the one doing it.
A friend will lie to you and tell you that you look good when you don't. A sister will tell you the truth.
A friend will send you to get food for you guys. A sister will stalk you for food.
A friend will leave you alone to do homework. A sister will sit with you in the TECH til 4 am with you, even though, for all intents and purposes, they're sleeping at the computer.
A friend might agree with your views on something. A sister will debate with you when the sun comes up.
A friend rarely shows too much affection. A sister is stumbling drunk, hugging you, and telling you how much she loves you - but we do that sober too.
A friend will expect you to look nice when going out. A sister accuses you of overdressing if your clothes are all clean.
For your friends, sometimes, you have to fake it til you make it. For your sisters, you can finally be yourself. <3
So that's it. Basically, being in a sorority, despite the amount of stress it gives me, has also taught me so much about friendship. The girls I have in my life now are some of the most incredible women in the world. Multa corda, una causa. <3
