5 Reasons To Go Through Panhellenic Recruitment

Go Greek! Even if you don't think that you're the sorority girl "type," just try it out. Pay the small fee to go through recruitment and I promise it will be worth it. Maybe you're thinking, "what if I don't like it?" So what? Nobody says you have to join a sorority at the end if you really don't want to. Just go through recruitment and learn the truth behind the reasons why you should.

1. Even if you decide joining a sorority isn't for you and you drop out of recruitment, you still meet some amazing girls. Sorority girls may have a negative reputation portrayed by the media, but when you go through recruitment you'll meet girls that are strong, inspiring, and absolute fun to be around.

2. You meet girls that share your interests and values and then you become sisters. Once you find your niche, you hate to be away from it and find yourself feeling like you could take on the world with your sisters.

3. With that said, you find your home away from home. Your sorority becomes your family and support system, especially while away at school. Sad? Call a sister and she'll be there to comfort you and help you finish a pint of ice cream. Happy? Call a sister and she'll be happy with you and even go out with you to celebrate. You're never short on people that love you and it's a wonderful feeling.

4. There are some pretty awesome themed mixers. Every Greek community across the country has different and unique mixers and my favorites were Mathletes and Athletes as well as the ABC (anything but clothes) party. It's fun to see how unique and goofy people can get with their costumes, even though it costs you some weird looks when you're leaving your dorm room. And is there a better way to get cute pictures to put on Instagram? No...the answer is no.

5. You will make memories and friends that last a lifetime. Before joining my sisterhood, I didn't realize that it truly lasted a lifetime until we went to brunch with some alumni. At my table were two women in their 80s and they told me about how they were best friends and sisters in college, they were in each other's weddings, and now they're neighbors in their cute beach neighborhood in St. Augustine, Florida. Adorable, right? That's what going Greek will do for you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
