The Emotional Roller Coaster That Is Sorority Recruitment

For many students, going to college also means going Greek.Ā Whether you are excited, nervous or downright terrified, there's no doubt that rushing a sorority brings about a whirlwind of emotions.Ā Here are some GIFs to describe how you most likely will be (or already are) feeling in the weeks surrounding recruitment.


When you try to act excited for your hometown friends who are already in sororities.

But then you realize your ownĀ springĀ recruitment is only a few weeks aways.

So youĀ have to go shopping for recruitment outfits, butĀ you don't know whatĀ exactly "business casual" means.

And then you're counting down the days until winter break is finally over.

When you're headed to your first round of recruitment

And then the nerves set in.

Because you remember how awkward you are.

OrĀ other times, when you just don't clickĀ with the girl you're talking to.

When youĀ become friends with the girls standing next to you in line.

When you become overwhelmed byĀ the amount of singing, smiling and girl-flirting.

And you realize you stillĀ have eight more chapters to see today.

When you get cut from a sorority you really like.

But you suck it up because everyone says to "trust the process".

When you see how amazing pref round decorations are.

And you become emotional during senior testimonials.

When you submit your preferences and realize all you can do now is wait.

Waiting to open your bid card.

Realizing everyone was right when they said it would work out how it was supposed to.


Happy recruitment season!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
