10 Things To Know Before Going Through Sorority Recruitment

In light of just going through sorority recruitment, I thought that I would put together a list of things to know. Recruitment week is crazy, and it is always nice to know a little bit before going in. No matter where you end up, you'll have the time of your life.


1. Don’t be scared

These girls have all gone through this, so they understand what you’re going through.

2. You will find where you belong.

It could be with the first sorority you meet or the very last, there really is no in between.

3. You will feel the click.

It really doesn’t take much.

4. Don’t listen to anyone else’s opinion.

Find somewhere where you feel at home.

5. You will be tired.

Who knew that talking to people would be so tiring?

6. The amount of anxiety you will feel is unreal.

There really isn’t any way to avoid it.

7. Small talk gets easier.

It will feel like a pain at first, but it gets better.

8. Bring a pair of flats to change into.

Your feet will thank you

9. Crying is okay.

The process can be overwhelming, don’t be afraid to let out a few tears.

10. Be yourself.

You don’t want to end up in a sorority that you don’t feel at home at.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes.

Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
