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
