The similarities between local government and sorority recruitment are alarming, politics, lots of talking, and days in heels. It is for that reason that Leslie Knope and the rest of the Pawnee Parks Department tell it how it is when it comes to sorority recruitment.

It is hands down the most draining weekend of your life.

Every female on campus is bound to go slightly cray.

The first time you sing your door chant, you get really into it.

However, after the fifteenth time, you are really over that door chant.

Which causes the head of recruitment to remind you to keep smiling, that despite the all black outfits, it is not a funeral.

The moment you know the conversation is not going well.

When a girl brings up guys and fraternities in the conversation and you don't know how to avoid the topic properly.

When you don't get an off-round during recruitment and you have to talk even more.

When the party is about to begin and you really do not know what is going on.

At a certain point, the words coming out of your mouth don't make any sense.

By the end of the day, you will be more hangry than you've ever been with your entire life. Your best friend breathing will piss you off.

That feeling when you meet the most perfect girl going through recruitment and she quickly becomes your rush crush.

You always say you will not cry during preference ceremony....it never goes well. Especially when the senior in your family line begins to talk.

The moment of bliss (and agony) when you finally take your heels off after 12 hour days.

However, it is all worth it at the end when your new members run home into your arms.
