I Went Through Sorority Recruitment And I'm Still Shook, TBH

So first things first: I got in.

But that's a WHOLE other article.

Sorority recruitment week or "rush week," as it is more well known as, is an experience.

Since our recruitment week started Labor Day week, we started on Tuesday instead of Monday, which isn't too important, but yeah. Let's get into it.

The first night was orientation. Orientation was the most boring/worst part of the whole experience. You get introduced to the Rho Chis who are disenfranchised from their sororities to help out with the recruitment process and how everything works, and then you ask any questions that you have. Honestly, it kinda sucks.

Night two is cray-cray. Night two is when you meet every sorority and you scream at everyone in a room for an hour because you can't hear a word anyone says. It's also like super fun, and this is coming from an introvert. It's also the most casual night of the next three nights, so this is the night to wear shorts.

Night three is a little more specific; you dress a little fancier, you act a little quieter, and you boast a little bit more. This is the first night you can get dropped, which kinda sucks, not gonna lie.

Night four is invitation night. Invite night is the most stressful thing ever. You dress super fancy, you act super fancy, and you feel like you're being inducted into a cult. (You aren't btw.) Going to see if you got an invitation is probably the most stressful part of it all. I didn't realize I was holding in a breath until I got my invitation.

The most fun part of sorority recruitment is Bid Day, but as I previously stated, THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER ARTICLE.

Here are the top few things, that I find at least, are some of the most irritating misconceptions that find their way into numerous conversations...

8. "The whole philanthropy thing isn't real, right?"

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
