5 Fun Things to Do When You’re Bored in the Sorority House
When you’re a house girl, life is always fun! When living with all of your friends, you’ll never run out of things to do. But in case you do, here’s The Mugdown’s official tips for entertaining yourself when you’ve got some spare time on your hands.
1. Go on and just stare at those old composites on the walls from the 80s.
Haha! Look at that hair! Look at those chunky sweaters! What were they thinking? Good thing your fashion is timeless. You’ll never grow old. You’ll never be just a picture on the wall. Right?
2. Stand outside the front door and remember what it was like to be a PNM walking in.
Man, that was so long ago. But it also felt like yesterday? Oh how time flies. Remember when you were so insecure and so uncertain about where you belonged? Good thing you aren’t anymore! Can you imagine?
3. Shop online for a dress for formal.
It’s only three and a half months away— you need to be prepared! Start shopping now for that perfect floor length dress that’ll make everyone just jealous enough that they wish they were you, but not so jealous that they hate you. That would defeat the purpose.
4. Hang out with the other house girls.
You live with 60 other girls, so surely someone is free to hang! Unless they’re at class, tutoring, a meeting for another org or at work. Wow, a 15,000 square foot house can sure feel big when you’re the only one there!
5. Go for a walk down the row.
Get some nice fresh air! Put on your cutest lulu leggings and a top, but make sure your letters are visible somewhere. You never know who could look out and see you, and all the other sorority women need to see how well you rep your sorority! Make sure you walk by the house that you cut on pref, so you can look in and be glad you didn’t end up as one of them.
And there you have it ladies! Don’t let the boredom get to you, because if you sit still long enough, the feelings of inadequacy might start seeping in again — we can’t have that, can we? Now go out there and have some fun ladies!
