In the Defense of Bitches



          
Watch any movie involving Greek life and there will be bitchy sorority girls. Walk into a Greek competition at schools across the country and you will witness bitchy sorority girls. Yes, sorority girls can be bitches, and to the outside world not blessed enough to be in a house, we all probably look like prissy brats backstabbing each other and always gunning to get ahead. This is often blamed on being spoiled (or just being shitty people), but look at your own sisters and you know that’s not the way it is.

Alpha bitches run shit, and no one knows being an alpha like Greek women. Being a bitch is underrated, because bitches get shit done. A part of this can be attributed that a kick ass, listen to me attitude will make people follow your directions, but another part is that if you are a bitch it’s because you have a strong personality. Sorority girls are the girls who in high school were involved in everything, from sports to clubs to volunteering, and still maintained kick ass grades and probably great hair. At some point along the way, confidence developed. You cannot get into any decent house without confidence. Therefore, sororities are full of alpha bitches because they are the types of girls who get shit done. Getting good grades takes a lot of commitment and effort, or the ability to manipulate influence people around you enough to get what you want. Balancing sports, clubs, and school takes a hell of a lot of drive. You don’t get anywhere by sitting on your ass and doing nothing.

Sorority girls aren't alpha females because they’re in sororities, they’re in sororities because they’re alpha betches. Sororities want to be the best they can be, so they recruit girls that are driven, beautiful, smart, involved, and well rounded. You mix together a bunch of type A personalities and you’re going to get a house willing to work, and fight, to be the best. 

Having the confidence to get what you want can make you a bitch. Being a bitch is not about making everyone hate you because you’re completely intolerable, it’s about having confidence. There is a fine balance between standing up for yourself, and becoming a bully. Walk that line carefully, or just stay away from it, because influence and getting what you want isn't about strong arming people, it’s about making them want to do it for you. People want to help people that they like, so be a person worth liking. Not for the sake of controlling people or getting things, but because you will be so much happier. Take charge of your life, and be a bitch, but have a purpose. Don’t just be a cranky, salty, whiner that snaps at people all the time. That will get you nowhere fast. But giving an honest opinion and giving people a reason to respect you will get you places, and will help you go far.
