10 Tips For Those Going Through Recruitment

I know this process can be scary, trust me, I know. Every girl in the house has gone through the same process that you are about to begin. The girls inside understand what it is like so don't be scared. We want to get to know you and who you are as a person. You are getting t know us just like we are getting to know you! Just sit back, relax, and breathe. Trust the process, keep an open mind, and just have fun. This is supposed to be fun and allow you to find your forever home. Trust the process and remember that everything happens for a reason!

Have fun

Be yourself, the girls on the other side are just as nervous as you are.

It's okay to take the water!! I know it's hot outside! So take a drink to stay hydrated, it will make you feel so much better!

Remember to keep an open mind, and don't get set on one chapter. You have no idea what the others have to offer, and you need to give more than just one a fair chance!

Don't be disappointed if things don't work out the way you initially hoped. Recruitment is about finding the best match, and the process helps with this decision!

Ask your Gamma Chi about what to expect. Sorority Recruitment is unlike anything you have probably experienced and knowing what you are walking into will help you take your first steps through the doors that one day you could possibly call home. Your Gamma Chi is there to help you, so let them!

Don't listen to anything you've heard about any of the chapter's on your campus. People will talk and tell you the reputations each chapter holds but try to block those out and form your own opinions based on conversations you are having with the women of each chapter throughout the week. Follow your gut and trust your instincts.

Trust the system. You may go in thinking you've found your home on day 1, but you might not get called back. Don't let that shatter your hope. It happened for a reason, and trust me when I say you're probably better off. When you know, you just know. Just stay hopeful, stay strong, and everything will make sense when you're running to your forever home on Bid Day! Remember, everything happens for a reason!!

Don't be nervous to ask real questions. This is the only way that you can really learn which house if the fit for you and the girls you are talking to will be more than happy to answer.

First impressions are important. This isn't just for recruitment, it's for every area of your life! Smile, enjoy yourself and dress in a way that makes you feel confident.

When going through recruitment, dress to show your personality! Just be you and that's something you can trust!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
