I recently went through sorority recruitment, and can now say it was certainly an experience. Although I'm extremely glad its over (and I'm finally getting past the sickness and exhaustion that ensued), I am SO happy to have found my sorority in the process! That being said, I definitely felt a whole range of emotions throughout rush, and could think of no one better to convey these thoughts and feelings than the stereotypical sorority sisters of some my favorite shows and movies.
1. "Woah, that is a lot of clapping."
Or sometimes snapping. I really appreciate the enthusiasm, I do, however, I cringe imagining how red their hands must've felt by the end of the whole ordeal.
2. When you hear so many sorority names, they all start blurring together.
Is that a real sorority name or the name of a sorority from a movie? At first, it was all just gibberish to me - like learning a whole new language.
3. Hyping yourself up before a round.
Going into a room, and trying to get everyone to like you is hard. It's even harder getting cut. You just have to remember that you won't be a perfect fit everywhere you go.
4. "Is it time to go to bed yet?"
I'm aware that Beave from "Greek" is not a sorority girl, but I love him so it's okay. I can definitely agree though, once the exhaustion set in I was definitely for a bedtime story.
5. Finally finding the chapter you love.
You just have to hope the feeling's mutual!
6. Finally getting your bid.
Finally, the whole process is behind you. And it was SO worth it!! Time to celebrate!
