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!

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
