To the Girl Going Through Sorority Recruitment, Here Are 11 Tips and Tricks To Help You Through
Emily Brock

These are tips and tricks I learned going through recruitment as a New Member and as a sorority member!

1. Dress cute, but comfortable

No matter if you're at a small school or a large school dressing comfortable is key. The days will be long and you want to impress each sorority! So dress cute but comfortable so you're not miserable!

2. Be yourself

Don't go in being someone you're not. At the end of all of it, you'll be unhappy because you're in a place that isn't right for you because you were acting like someone else. If you like to talk, talk. If you're quiet that's OK! Just be yourself!

3. Stay true to yourself

Stay true to your beliefs, your likes, and your dislikes! This is what draws you to a sorority and how you find the one you fit into!

4. Don't be afraid to ask questions in the houses

Asking questions not only helps you find out more about the sorority but it also helps the sorority see that you are interested in them! It makes the conversation flow and everyone gets to know you on a more personal level!

5. Talk, Talk, Talk

Don't be afraid to make conversation! The houses want to get to know you and want you to feel comfortable! Yes, this is a very awkward situation but by talking it makes it easier! You'll always hear this during recruitment but the girls talking to you are just as nervous as you are!

6. Get to know the girls in your group

Here at Troy, our recruitment groups are called our Phi Chi groups, but no matter where you get to know them! Some of them will be your good friends or just familiar faces you see around campus!

7. Don't let your decision be based off of your friends

This is your decision. Do not let it be based on your friends or what others are doing! Don't go somewhere just because your friend is, it might not pay off for you in the end because you might not like it! You want to be like these beautiful ladies! ^^

8. Keep up with your schedule

Don't be late to any parties because you might not be able to go back! Attending the parties and events are imperative to keep up with your schedule.

9. Bring a rain jacket (especially if you are going to school in the south)

In the South, during fall it always rains especially in the month of August, which is when most sorority recruitments take place. Be prepared!

10. Bring snacks

You are going all day and sometimes you will not be able to go back to your dorm or get to a place to eat. Food and drink are imperative!

11. Get plenty of sleep

This week is going to be super stressful! Try to get plenty of rest and sleep because once recruitment is over, classes start and you will not have much time for sleep!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
