Sorority Recruitment, As Told By 'SpongeBob SquarePants'

Episode Generator

Ahhh, sorority recruitment.

There’s honestly nothing quite like it. The days are long, the conversations are repetitive, and you’re told over and over again to “trust the process”.

For those of you going through sorority recruitment who aren’t exactly sure what it’s like on the other side, let me explain it to you through ~Spongebob Squarepants~:

Practicing EVERYTHING during work week

Not being able to get the walk songs out of your head

Getting your tan on

Day one nervous jitters

Welcoming the first group into your beautiful sorority house

Pure excitement and pride while performing your walk songs

Not being able to breathe after walk songs

Trying to get to know the PNM in a 5-minute convo

Losing your voice because you’ve been screaming at the top of your lungs

Almost passing out because it’s SO HOT in the room

Not being able to hear the PNM

Trying not to trip in your wedges

Being asked “forbidden” questions by the PNM

Smiling at all times

Trying to think of interesting questions to ask the PNM

Ending the day

When a girl you loved doesn’t come back the next round

When your rush crush comes back the next round

Having a great conversation with a PNM

Having a not-so-great conversation with a PNM

Getting emotional during Pref round

Thinking about all the beautiful new members you’ll meet tomorrow

BID DAY!!!

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

Appalachian State University National Writers Society

I'm the Short Friend. I've been the Short Friend since about the seventh grade. I'm the one who stands in the front of the photos, gets made fun of for their height, and still shops in the kids department.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

11 Things All Call Center Workers Can Empathize With Better Than Anyone

Youtube

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team. This means a lot of things, but primarily it means that I get to make phone calls to parents and alumni two nights a week to update contact information, collect things like business cards and volunteer hours, and even ask for money.

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination

Details the INFJ may not have wanted to let you know about.

1. Their moral compass is the strongest bone in their bodies

2. They like getting a mild cold

3. They can only make one new friend at a time

4. They can only be leaders if they're experts on the topic

5. You know what too nice means: Fake

6. Their creativity comes out in strange bouts

7. They like heavily emotional stories

8. They experience a different kind of tired

9. Structure and routine is the name of the game

10. They are sensitive little creatures

11. They love to love

12. Yup, they’re the mom of the friend group

It's a daily struggle to make it on time, but everyone has those days where they just...don't.

1. "Oh, crap..."

2. "Is it worth it?"

3. "Why is this room so cold?"

4. "Does this professor grade attendance?"

5. "Can I wear my pajamas to class?"

6. "Do I have time to brush my teeth?"

6. "Shoot, I didn't finish my homework..."

7. "What's the weather supposed to be today?"

8. "Will the bus be on time?"

9. "How can I enter the room in the least obtrusive way possible?"

10. "WHY didn't anyone leave a seat on the end in case someone came late?!"

11. "Does this professor hate me now?"

12. "I'll be early next class..."

Getting hung up on is my super power.

1. The first call is the hardest

2. Getting hung up on before you say something

3. People don't live forever

4. It's exhausting

5. Getting hung up on the second you say where you're calling from

6. People will say anything to get you off the phone

7. Voicemails are weird

8. No one cleans out their mailbox

9. Pronouncing names correctly can be hard

10. People are mean

11. Some calls make it worth it
