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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
