Social media creates the ability for individuals to communicate with users as often as they desire. Sororities use social media for daily communication with members, keeping them informed and fostering relationships. My research uses Collins's (2004) Interaction Ritual Theory to examine how regulated and repeated social media use leads to positive interaction rituals between sorority members. Utilizing in-depth interviews with 18 sorority women, I examine their social media usage and their experiences in the sorority, in regards to social media. The interviews reveal that the women experience regulation, stemming from a "social media contract" that all members must sign. There is also a less formal expectation that sisters will "like" and comment on each other's social media posts. This expectation to actively participate in their sisters' social media posts leads to repeated small interaction rituals in which the sorority women are constantly confirming their bonds and social solidarity with each other through their social media usage. In turn, these interaction rituals lead sorority sisters to feel supported and reaffirmed by the other members of the sorority. This research furthers the understanding of how interactions over social media may constitute interaction rituals under certain conditions. Among members of a group that have already established some sense of social solidarity, repeated social media interactions that are regulated for content can serve to confirm and reestablish that social solidarity.
