Sorority Recruitment Survival Guide

Recruitment week can be stressful, but here are some tips to help you through what may seem like a scary week (it's not really that scary!)

DO: Be yourself. You want to surround yourself with girls like you- the only way you can find the sorority for you is by being true to yourself.

DON'T: Act like you are someone you're not. At the end of recruitment, you'll regret it.

DO: Look your best. It'll make you feel more confident! SLAY LADIES!!

DON'T: Roll out of bed.

DO: Wear deodorant. Wherever you go to school, it's probably going to be hot during recruitment. You're going to be running from house to house and sweating a lot! Make sure you smell good and fresh!

DON'T: Wear perfume. Too much perfume in one place can be overwhelming. You want to smell fresh- not like your going out.

DO: Listen intently to what the girls have to say. You want to engage in the conversation and learn as much as you can about each sorority!

DON'T: Be afraid to ask questions. There is so much to know, and it's hard to learn everything about a sorority in a short amount of time. If you have anything on your mind, don't be afraid to ask. I guarantee the girls will be happy to answer!

DO: Take care of yourself during recruitment week. It is going to be a long week. Make sure you eat healthily and get sleep. The last thing you want to happen during recruitment week is getting sick.

DON'T: Be afraid to drink the drinks at the houses. This may seem like an obvious statement, but trust me, nerves may get the best of you. However, the drinks are there for a reason. Drink them and stay hydrated- especially if it's hot!

DO: Have fun! It is fun and exciting to meet so many new women! You may find a really good friend out of recruitment, and it is kind of fun to see how each sorority is different!

DON'T: Have a closed mind during recruitment. Go into each house with an open mind and maximize your options. Trust me, the system works, and you won't be disappointed with any house you get. Each sorority is amazing at every school, and your experience is what you make it!


Best of Luck!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
