Don't Freak Out About Formal Recruitment: I Gotcha Covered
@mostatetrisigma

So, if you're reading this you're most likely considering participating in formal recruitment at you're university. You're probably scared of what you don't understand or what you don't know. Maybe you're freaking out about the sorority stereotype, the cost of being in a sorority, making new friends, and even which sorority you'll get a bid from. This is why I'm here to talk you through the unknown, and hopefully get you to put the pedal to medal and commit to recruitment.

I'm sure you are scared about what actually happens during recruitment. PHA normally doesn't tell you much about it except to tell you when and where you're suppose to be. This is probably because they want you to experience recruitment first hand, and let me tell you... it's something you'll remember forever. Another reason PHA doesn't tell you is because they don't know how each chapter will run their recruitment, which is even more exciting to experience. Don't let it stress you out!! Just act like you're meeting a friend for the first time while you're talking with these women.

It shouldn't have to be a forced conversation if it's meant to be. You'll know when you find your home, and you WILL find a home 100%. I personally cannot describe how much I fit in to my sorority. So I KNOW you will find YOUR home <3

I guess the main reason I'm writing this is to tell you to say yes to recruitment. Say yes to those long days, to losing your voice, to being so tired you crash out in your makeup and recruitment t shirt. Say yes to an active on Preference Day and to the bid you get from your new home. Most importantly say yes to those other fellow new members that want to get a picture with you on Bid Day and say yes to your new girl gang!

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
