How The Other Side Feels During Recruitment

I love my Zistas.

How The Other Side Feels During Recruitment
Alicia Vickers

Recruitment is known as "hell week" for those that are in a sorority and those that are looking to join one. It is a week full of tears, sweat, and feet dying from high heels. You have no sleep, you barely even eat, but this week is also a week you grow an immense appreciation for your friends and sisters surrounding you. Here are some situations I personally experienced that made my love grow.

1. When your excitement kicks in while you're waiting in line to pick up your PNM.

2. When you and your friend are fighting over a rush crush.

3. When your feet hurt from your shoes and they trade shoes with you.

4. When you almost pass out from dehydration and they give you their last bag of goldfish and water bottle.

5. When you're at the house until 2 a.m. decorating and you use your friend as a pillow.

6. When you and your bump buddy are both obsessed with the same girl and she lets you pref her.

7. When your bump group all consecutively decide one girl is a big no.

8. When you can fall asleep on a couch in the middle of the entire sorority screaming and singing.

9. When you're getting ready to door chant and you all exchange a "not again" look and then burst in to the biggest smile.

10. When you just completed the final party on the final night and the entire chapter blasts the stereo and has a random giant dance party.

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
