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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
