Confidence Is The Key to Slaying Recruitment
Texas A&M Kappa Delta: Eta Alpha

In This Article:

I'm sure you've read a billion articles about the best way to present yourself during recruitment. You've probably heard a thousand ways to impress the girls that some of you quite desperately want to be a part of.

And you've also probably heard multiple things not to do including, but not limited to, don't go the bathroom (even if you really have to go), smile way more than you normally would, be as bubbly as you possibly can. I will be the first person you don't have to do any of that.

By all means be happy and smile, but above all else be confident. Growing up my mom used to tell me to be my own advocate. After all, if we don't stand up for ourselves, how can we expect anyone else to believe in us?

The biggest "secret" to recruitment is knowing that you have a choice, but so do the sororities. It's important to make an impression and believe in what you're saying. Coming from a girl in Kappa Delta, a sorority known for its work that inspires confidence in young women, it might seem repetitive to hear it. But those in the back needed to, and still need to, hear it again: be confident in who you are!!

As you go from house to house, remember that the impression sororities get is the one you establish. So yes, be honest and be incredible, but also be confident. One of the most fun parts of recruitment on the other side, inside the house, is that you get to meet over 1,000 of the most incredible girls at your university.

On the flip side, there are so many incredible girls that sometimes it can be difficult to cipher through girls and figure out who to invite back the next day. If you believe and act like you deserve to be there, you probably do!

In high school, one of my closest friends used to say "confidence is key". I guess I should probably tell Sahar thank you because confidence is still very much key. Be confident and believe in yourself, your real self, and you will most certainly end up where you're supposed to be at the end of the week.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
