Is there a reason you don't want any pins/accessories to be visible, like a work thing? I know you can find thin elastic as well as thin hard plastic headbands which match your color and while they don't stand out against your hair it's kind of obvious that something is holding it back...

If you look at the history of sororities, they were established to give women a support group when they were underrepresented on college campuses. They still act that way, providing academic and emotional support for members.

I did Irish dance, not highland, but as soon as I saw those shoes I knew they weren't men.

When you get a bunch of young adults together, shits bound to blow up sometime in the form of a crappy email. I could show you crappy emails from the captain of my dance team or even the advisor of my student ambassador program and he's a grown ass Man. Why choose to hate so much on sororities in particular?

Great post! I feel the same way. The other day in group think I hosted an "Ask a Sorority Girl" that was minorly popular, because I really want people to see both sides of it. Check it out-it's on my personal kinja blog.

This. x50000. Thank you for articulating just what's off about it so well!

Isn't anal sex illegal in a bunch of states? It may be urban legend, but a lot of people I know say that sex in any other position than missionary is illegal in North Carolina.

Yep: http://thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/1-the-10-state…

The islamophobia I have seen is astounding. I had a drunk person insist to me last night that we just needed to go to war with the middle east to nip this whole terrorism thing in the but and I was dumbfounded... I asked, "you know they're Russian, right?" "But, but..." this drunk person insisted to me, "...they're…

Aaand of course there are no digital copies (first world problems) because the book is out of print, but I just ordered a used copy online! Now I'll have one for my kids to read some day. Also LOL at the negative reviews on Amazon... "this is an amazing book blah blah blah but I'm only giving it one star because the…

OMG THANK YOU! Sorry this is late (kinja....) but that description for "The Raging Quiet" is perfect!! You have no idea how happy this makes me, that book seriously changed my life and has stuck with me for forever. Off to buy it on my nook now!

While people are jumping on the 'what was that book?' Train, I hope I'm not too late... There are two books I can't remember.

Oh, so Coke is made with "happy" calories, just like it's made with "different" caffeine that makes it alright for Mormons to drink. Yeah, OK. Got it.

Like other people said, steamer! I got mine at Target for like 30 bucks. I kept it in my bathroom and every morning before work this summer I would turn it on while I was brushing my teeth/doing my hair, then it would be ready to go and I would steam my shirt and pants really quickly before I got dressed. People…

Vaseline. Breaking in boots is the only thing I use it for. Rub a nice thick layer in the heel of the boot before you slip your foot in and it will lubricate it against rubbing and also help the heel form to your foot. This summer I had a truly horrific pair of steel-toed boots (they were much too wide, but sadly…

Clicking on the picture should bring you to the link. You kind of have to click it twice-click on the little picture to make it big, then click on the big picture to go to the link. Sometimes the links are bad, in which case I usually do a reverse google image search which you do by opening images.google.com in…

I would like to ditto this!

I'm pretty sure these people have approached me at school before... They're pretty persistent.

Are you confusing James Franco with James Deen? One has hosted the Oscars, and the other is a porn star...

So my sister who is a hipster has a ukulele. She played it for me a little and she's getting pretty good, and even though she probably bought it for hipster-y purposes, I'm proud of her for learning another instrument (she played clarinet and melophone in high school). While everyone was out of the house today, I…

So we were watching this documentary "People Like Us: Class in America" in my Women and Lit class and discussing the lights thing actually. Someone casually brought up that colored lights were lower class, and white lights were upper class. And I was like -record scratch-whaaaat? I'd never heard that before.
