It's The Middle Of Recruitment

Hello, sorority women of NC State. As you're browsing your Facebook news feed during any short break this busy week, here I am to tell you that it's the middle of recruitment, and we all know what you're going through.

Currently, you're probably a combination of emotions running high, stress about schoolwork, and nowhere near enough sleep. As the rounds fly by, but somehow seem endless, all you can think about is the pressure to be your very best at bringing in a new pledge class.


Here are some things to keep in mind during recruitment.


Don't let the stress get to you.

Yes, you're under a lot of pressure right now, but you and your chapter are working towards a goal that has been in your sights for months now. You've put in hard work for weeks in advance, and now it's time to finally see the reward.

Find time to rest and catch up on schoolwork.

If it's getting up an hour early in the morning to study or taking a nap in between class times, it's important to remember to maintain your academic success and mental health even during such a busy time.

Remember this only takes up less than a week of your life.

Recruitment is draining and hectic and time consuming, but when you look at the big picture it only takes up less than a week of your life. The hard work you put in now during these few days will help create a bond with sisters that lasts a lifetime and finding new members who love your sorority as much as you do.

Take a deep breath.

One, two, maybe three deep breaths -- you've got this! Watch this video from Kid President if you need a little more motivation, put on your name-tag, and get out there. You're going to do great!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
