12 Thoughts PNMs Have When Going Through Sorority Recruitment
Lauren Gannon

With recruitment season approaching within the next few months, it's a relief that I'll no longer be the scared PNM unsure of what I'm about to encounter. While it isn't terrible to be a PNM, there's definitely a few struggles...

1. Finding outfits that are wholesome yet trendy

I don't want these girls thinking I'm a straight up hoe, but I also wanna let them know that I have some sense of style.


2. Forgetting to bring a change of shoes while in between houses

I really love walking around all day in heels when I don't have to!


3. Pretending to be interested even though you've been asked the same question twenty times

Where's my hometown? What's my major? I get that I have to be asked these things but I'm about to rip my hair out if I have to answer it one more time.


4. When you go to your very first house and you hear them begin to bang on the door and chant


5. When a house you really liked drops you

"I didn't even really like that house anyways."


6. When a house you don't like at all keeps asking you back

I'm sure you're all very nice girls but........


7. When you get asked back to a house and talk to the same sister you did last time

Future sisters?? Maybe??

8. When a sister compliments your outfit


9. When all of the PNMs come together and gossip over which houses they liked and disliked

But nothing's more awkward than when you all start to disagree.


10. When the rumors of which sororities haze start coming about

Though if you know anything about my university, that shit don't fly.


11. When you get your invitations to certain houses for the next round and one girl takes it too seriously

We can't all have thick skin.


12. When it's finally Bid Day and you open your bid to your top house

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
