Recruitment is definitely an experience, but a great one. Here are five things I wish I knew before I joined the Greek life community.

Express Your Own Style

During every round of recruitment, you will be asked to dress with professionalism and it becomes fancier every day you're there. It is extremely important to feel comfortable in what you are wearing. The right sorority will accept you no matter the style you present, but make sure it fits within the professional guidelines.

Keep An Open Mind

Some sororities may surprise you in all that they have to offer. It is perfectly fine to not know anything about greek life beforehand... it can even make the process more fun! Pay attention to the bigger picture... if you feel comfortable and happy, that is the place for you.

It Is OK To Be Hesitant

Decisions about which houses to cut on your list can be extremely difficult. You may love different people from each sorority but realize that certain houses as a whole are not for you. They won't hate you afterward, they'll likely still want you in their life.

You Will Become Great In Interviews

After many rounds of conversations and answering questions, you will likely get better in your interview skills. It will truly show you what you value most in your life and you will become even more confident in who you are. Even if you are not loving a house you're talking to, still, maintain a positive attitude and realize it is just more interview practice.

Take Care Of Yourself

This can be an extremely stressful time and can hurt your body if you're not careful. Making sure you obtain enough sleep, eating healthy and resting your voice when you can all help in preventing illness and negativity. Talking to your group leaders can also help with anxiety or unhappy emotions.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
