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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
