It’s finally here, you’ve prepared for months for this exact week. You’re a potential new member and it is sorority recruitment week. This week you will tour houses and meet girls in order to find the perfect sisterhood for you. With your excitement comes obvious anxiety, meeting a dozen girls in a day is tiring. While the initial week of sorority recruitment is tough the outcome is worth it. Be yourself and keep your mind open and the best sorority for you will be obvious. In the mean time here is a look into some thoughts you may have throughout the week (as well as answers to those thoughts) as told by memes.
Who is this lady?
Meeting your Rho Gamma/Rho Chi/Pi Chi:
She is here for your ever need, easily the most helpful person you have all week. She will give you snacks, unbiased opinions and hugs when you need them. Since your mom can’t also go through sorority recruitment, your Rho Gamma is the next best thing.
What should I wear?
Getting Ready:
Be yourself. If you don’t usually wear tons and tons of makeup don’t put on that much makeup. If you hate extremely girly dresses don’t go out and buy one just for recruitment. Eat a big breakfast and drink water in order to be ready for your recruitment days.
Are these girls going to be in my sorority too?
Who knows, but they understand the struggle too:
Sitting silently by yourself will not help your conversation skills inside the house. Talking to other people can calm you down. The girls in your recruitment group are going through the exact same feelings that you are. Even if you don’t get in the same sorority you’ll always have a friend to share this experience with.
Wow her shoes are so much cuter than mine.
Comparing yourself:
Don’t compare yourself to anyone!! Nothing good comes from thinking someone is better or worse than you. You are a shinning star and you don’t need to impress everyone.
They look so happy in their recruitment video!!
Spoiler: It’s staged.
Sororities want you to like their videos, they are fun to watch and super cute. But don’t base your choice on these videos or a sisterhoods colors. The conversations your have and values you see from each sorority should guide your decision.
Am I almost done?
You will probably have at least one panic attack:
It’s here; preference night. Tonight is the night that you ultimately decide what sisterhood you feel most at home with. After a long week of lots of talking, walking from house to house and overthinking this night should really help you clarify where you want to be.
I'm sleep deprived but it's finally bid day!
Take it all in because you only get to be on this side of recruitment one time. It really is a fun process when you look past the anxiety and long days. You get to run home to a group of sisters that are just as happy to see you as you are to see them, just like real family.
