Questions that I hate answering

I would have never believed anyone if they would have told me in high school that I would join a sorority in college. The reason for this is because of the stereotypes that I had heard about sororities, and it surely did not seem like an organization I would want to be a part of. My perception completely changed when I decided to be the first person in my family to rush and potentially become a part of Greek life.  After joining a sorority and wearing my letters, the same questions began coming up again and again. One of the most annoying questions that people ask me is “Do you go to frat parties like every night?”  While I do go out sometimes with friends, I by no means go out every night of the week or even every night on the weekends. Another misconception about sororities is that we get hazed before we are allowed to join. Many of my friends have asked “How did they haze you before you were allowed to join”. This can get annoying because none of my sisters would ever attempt to haze any of the new members or even joke about it.  In addition to those questions, another question many of my friends that are not in a sorority ask is “Why do you pay so much to be friends with those girls?” I found a really good quote that I think answers this question perfectly and it is “If I paid for my friends, I surely didn't pay enough”. The girls in my pledge class have become some of my best friends and the money also goes towards other things like house fees, our philanthropy, and social events that we plan. While I understand the curiosity that some people may have, it gets exhausting having to answer the same questions over and over again. I want people to see me as more than what sorority I am in and ask me questions about who I am and the things that I am interested in.
