The Emotional Roller Coaster That Is Sorority Recruitment

For many students, going to college also means going Greek.Ā Whether you are excited, nervous or downright terrified, there's no doubt that rushing a sorority brings about a whirlwind of emotions.Ā Here are some GIFs to describe how you most likely will be (or already are) feeling in the weeks surrounding recruitment.


When you try to act excited for your hometown friends who are already in sororities.

But then you realize your ownĀ springĀ recruitment is only a few weeks aways.

So youĀ have to go shopping for recruitment outfits, butĀ you don't know whatĀ exactly "business casual" means.

And then you're counting down the days until winter break is finally over.

When you're headed to your first round of recruitment

And then the nerves set in.

Because you remember how awkward you are.

OrĀ other times, when you just don't clickĀ with the girl you're talking to.

When youĀ become friends with the girls standing next to you in line.

When you become overwhelmed byĀ the amount of singing, smiling and girl-flirting.

And you realize you stillĀ have eight more chapters to see today.

When you get cut from a sorority you really like.

But you suck it up because everyone says to "trust the process".

When you see how amazing pref round decorations are.

And you become emotional during senior testimonials.

When you submit your preferences and realize all you can do now is wait.

Waiting to open your bid card.

Realizing everyone was right when they said it would work out how it was supposed to.


Happy recruitment season!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichƩs, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And donā€™t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Donā€™t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and youā€™re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. Youā€™re running late because youā€™ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterdayā€™s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
