7 Fears Of Every Girl Going Through Sorority Recruitment

YouTube

Going through formal sorority recruitment is an exciting, but mostly very scary time. Here are just a couple common fears that all girls going through rush face.

1. What do I wear?

Looking through your closet, there are so many options but nothing good to actually wear.

2. How do I look?

It's the last look check-up before walking into a sorority house. Does your hair, makeup and outfit look alright? Do you have anything in your teeth? Please don't let there be spinach.

3. How do I know which house to go to? I don't know how to read Greek.

I think it's Delta that looks like a triangle. What is this thing that looks like a bent "E"? And I definitely know what Pi is...math class. Whatever, I'll just google it.

4. What if I'm awkward? What if the conversation sucks?

There's just something so intimidating about talking to 20+ random girls throughout an evening that you're trying to impress. Having an awkward conversation with someone is one of my worst nightmares. Could one bad conversation ruin my chance of getting into a certain sorority?

5. What if my top sorority doesn't want me back?

We all have a sorority in mind that we want to be a part of. The best is when you walk into their house and just have that magical feeling. Unfortunately, it's not just up to you. You may want a certain sorority, but they have to want you back.

6. What if I don't get a bid? Then what?

We all have this sinking feeling towards the end of recruitment. What if this doesn't work out? What if we made it all the way through rush without getting a single bid from a sorority? Or even worse, what if it from a sorority we don't like?

7. What if I don't get in the sorority that my friends get in?

Two words...major FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). No likes to be the friends that gets left behind.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
