5 Questions I Don't Want To Hear Until Fall Recruitment 2015

Recruitment is finally over along with all the small talk. 

We all have a love/hate relationship with recruitment. We love seeing new faces and potential littles or grand-littles. We develop rush crushes. Plus it's a time where we get to brag about our sorority and greek life. First rounds, however, can start to become a drag. Our voices become hoarse from endless chanting. Our dances are permanently embedded into our brains, so we look like peppy robots. Last but not least the conversations start to become repetitive. We ask and answer the same questions for 12 rounds, and PNM's eventually catch on to the routine. Now that recruitment is over I'm happy I don't have to hear these questions until next year. 

Question 1: What's your name? We obviously have to ask this question. You can't go an entire round talking to a girl and not know her name. Sometimes though her name slips from your brain, and you have to slyly take a glance at her name tag without it looking like you're staring at her chest.

Question 2: Where are you from? This is a hit or miss question. Either you know their hometown or you don't. When you don't it can be kind of awkward, and it's time to change the topic. 

Question 3: What's your major? The most famous question of them all. Not only will you hear this question non-stop during recruitment, but you will be asked this your entire college career. 

Question 4: Why did you choose Ball State? This is a stupid question. Why wouldn't you choose Ball State?  Ball State is great. I actually feel bad for the people who didn't choose to attend BSU. 

Question 5: Why did you decide to Go Greek? Most respond with it's a great way to make new friends and be more involved. Others were persuaded by their roommates or friends. Some come from a long line of greek life alumni. No matter the reason it will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
