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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
