3. Sorority Status

http://smupibetaphi.tumblr.com

As stupid as it may seem, there is no better feeling than realizing that your picture or Instagram has made it onto your sorority's Tumbler. You have FINALLY made it in life! lol. jk. But it does come with a very satisfying feeling.

However, everything involving that tumbler is superficial. Even with knowing how superficial it is, you can't help but give in to that amazing feeling that you were good enough. Because of this, you have gotten it down to a science of knowing what it takes to be chosen for the Tumbler.

The qualifications to be on the Tumbler include:
1. Good looks (real or facetuned, both are happily accepted)
2. The best clothes (preferable designer or on trend)
3. The perfect girly pose (such as clinking champagne classes with your BFF)
4. An exotic background (aka we can travel all over the world)
5. And most obvious, any skinny Pi Phi in a bikini will be on the Tumbler. No questions asked.

That being said, it tends to be the same girls who appear on the tumbler, the girls who are "the face of Pi Phi." The tall, skinny, often blonde, fashionable girl who travels all over the world having fabulous and envious backdrops.

The Tumbler is basically saying that to be the perfect Pi Phi at SMU you need to be able to capture (or fake) those 5 things in a picture. What ever happened to caring about the characteristics or personalities of the girls in the sorority? You might be surrounded by gorgeous people but if they are all fake bitches is it really worth it to be apart of their sorority?
