Why I Love/Hate Being In Charge Of Rituals For My Chapter
Katie Rogers

Being the person in charge of rituals for your chapter is very rewarding and very stressful. These two feelings come together to make a medley of a very overwhelmed college student. This is why being a guard/ritual chair/warden is the best thing in the world, but also one of the most frustrating.

It's frustrating when people don't think your job is really that important and think that anyone could do it:


You try to tell your sisters that they're not following the exact rules and deal with the after-sass.

Dealing with sisters when they want to give you attitude about following those rules:

When your adviser asks you if you're ready for initiation:

The night before you're hanging out with your friends like:

Right before rituals you talk yourself up like:

And then your executive council tells you that they're ready too:

Then all of your advisers walk into the room and afterward, you're thinking:

And you think that they're going to criticize you on something and start to think:


But then they tell you actually did a great job and you're all like:


But you're boyfriend is still wondering where you've been all week:

It's hard to find the right words to explain to non-Greeks what you do. They don't get it.

And at the end of everything, you just love your sisters and are so happy.

So shout out to you for being the Guard/Ritual/Warden for your chapter! You deserve a nap.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
