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!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
