Don't worry, you'll end up where you belong and you'll love it.

Be genuine and real

You're going to want to show your potential new sisters who you really are, not some fabricated version of yourself. Make sure you go in ready to impress these girls with your amazing personality and enjoy every conversation you have.

Keep on top of your studies 

I know it will get overwhelming, but you're at the university to further your education, and that will always come first. Come up with a schedule beforehand and make sure you abide by it or else you will fall behind and won't have time for everything.

Go in with an open mind 

You may have your heart set on one sorority, but remember you're going into this recruiting process and meeting a bunch of different girls, you may find that a sorority you never even thought of could be the best one for you.

Don't be disappointed if things don't work out the way you wanted them to

Like said above, you may have your heart set on one sorority, but you have to remember that you will end up where you belong in the grand scheme of things, so be happy with where you end up and be open to all of the opportunities you will have going forward.

Have fun with your recruitment outfits

Make sure to represent yourself and your style! Wear what you love and makes you feel most confident, because that confidence will transfer into every conversation you have and the girls will see how confident and poised you are.

Stay hydrated

Drink water! It's a lot of talking and a lot of walking, so you need to make sure you are staying hydrated so you don't get tired or sick during the process.

Find sisters that will better you, not change you 

You want to be with girls that make you feel good about yourself, and not that you have to change something about yourself. Be with people you feel most comfortable and happy with, and in turn, it will make for an amazing 4 years.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
