Maybe you feel too formal or maybe you feel like you should've dressed up a little more than just cute shorts and a nice shirt. You're starting to wonder why didn't you buy that romper you saw at TJMaxx.

She is just like me!

One of the girls who comes to tell you about their sorority makes you feel much better about your upcoming journey. She grew up in the same place you did, and she went to your high school's rival school. She ate at all the same mom & pop restaurants as you did, and she knows exactly what church you're talking about.

I am nothing like her.

She tells you about sports and all of the different parties she has been to since she has joined her sorority, but you are more into movie marathons and studying.

Maybe that isn't my top pick.

You feel like you have the least in common with the girls from what you thought was going to be your top pick sorority. You may be a little upset and feel somewhat confused. You had gone through their instagram account time and time again, and you thought those would be the girls you related to the most!

I am going to return the shoes I bought for formal dress day.

Every girl that comes to your table gives you the same advice when you ask for their best tips for Rush Week: wear comfortable shoes! The Burkes Outlet Calvin Klein heels aren't going to cut it, you realize. Just stick with your platform sandals.

Will I be able to balance school, work, and greek life?

When you're being told of all the sorority dues, you know you're going to have to pick up a part time job. You also know you've got to keep your GPA up, and attend so many events. How are you going to fit all of this in?

Do I even want to rush?

You start to wonder if you've made the right decision, but then you remember that you have already paid the registration fee! After all, you need to step out of your comfort zone.

Everyone around you is nervous! Even some of the sorority girls you talk to may be nervous! Don't sweat it, and remember that if anything is meant to be, it'll be.

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum.
