8 Tips to Help You Conquer Sorority Recruitment
gradeslam.org

Sorority recruitment can be intimidating and often confusing. Here are a few tips and pieces of advice to make your experience is a positive one.

1. Not sure if you should rush? Just do it.

I myself was on the fence about going through rush. The process is one unlike any other, and new things can be scary. But if you hate it, you can stop! Simple as that. You're not going to know if you like something unless you have the courage to try it. Sororities are a great place to find new friends and responsibilities, so why not give it a go?

2. Do not let others influence your decisions.

There are tons of stereotypes and rumors about each house. Don't let these determine your choice. Just because you like one house, your friend might have a completely different opinion. Recruitment is supposed to be an unbiased process, and it will remain that way if you listen to only one opinion: your own.

3. Not all of your friends will end up in the same house.

And that's okay. Everyone is put into a house because of their unique experiences during recruitment. Just because you're in different houses doesn't mean that you can't still be friends. Everyone will end up where they can be the happiest, with or without their friends.

4. Go with your gut.

Often times there will be difficult decisions that you will have to make and the best thing to do is follow your instincts. Pick the house that you feel you will be the happiest with and have the deepest connections.

5. Don't be afraid to talk to your Rho Gamma.

These girls have given up a lot to help you out. They are trained on how to help you through the recruitment process and have experienced it first hand. If you're stuck, turn to one of them.

6. Get lots of rest. Drink lots of water. Don't do anything stupid.

Recruitment is way more tiring than you would expect. Make sure you're taking care of yourself so that you can put your best foot forward each and everyday of rush. Remember you are trying to give each sorority the best version of yourself-- don't let other things get in the way of that.

7. Be yourself.

The last thing you want to do is advertise a false version of yourself and end up in a house where you don't truly fit in. Be you, talk about things you're passionate about, and focus on genuine connections.

8. Confidence is key.

Do not overthink and get flustered. Have confidence in not only yourself, but in the process. Everything happens for a reason, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. Rush should be an exciting time to explore new possibilities in college, don't let doubt get in the way of that. Be confident that you will end up in the right place, and you will.

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.

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.
