What To Look For During Sorority Recruitment
Wikipedia

In just a couple of months, it will be that exciting time of the school year when we get to recruit new sorority members who will become initiates, best friends, and sisters. One of the choices in happiest that I made in college was the choice to join a sorority.


Recruitment can be very intimidating, especially if you're like I was. No idea what to expect, and not really sure what you're looking for. After the entire experience, I can say I would do it the same way, and would graciously choose AXiD again and again. It's my home and pride.


To any girl who is considering joining a chapter at their college, I say go for it. Even if it turns at that it's not for you, it never hurts to try to be a part of something big that can change your life and give you the opportunity to benefit others.

No matter what chapter you think you belong to, go through with an open mind. I had an idea of where I wanted to be, but everything changed that weekend. Now I can't picture myself anywhere else.

If I had to give anyone advice for this experience, I would tell them to just be themselves and enjoy the attention and time you have to meet new people. You don't get an experience like this every day.


What you need to look for is your home, the chapter that you feel you can easily click with and can see yourself growing in. After just two days you'll know who you can see calling your sisters. I hope you consider taking advantage of this opportunity and find your Greek home and family!

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
