9 Reasons You Should Go Through Sorority Recruitment
Kayla Ivy

Deciding whether or not to go through formal recruitment can be scary, but here are nine reasons you should do it.

1. It makes the adjustment easier.

Moving away is hard, but being surrounded by friends makes the move less dreadful.

2. Leadership opportunities are endless.

Giphy

In a sorority, the amount of opportunities to grow your leadership abilities is endless. Be an officer, or help run an event!

3. Meeting different people

Giphy

It's important to experience different people, and being in a huge mesh of others is the perfect way to do so.

4. The Tshirts

Giphy

Let's be real, we all want those big comfy comfort colors T-shirts that show what our favorite place to be is.

5. Philanthropy

Giphy

If you love giving to people in need, and serving your community, a sorority is the place for you.

6. Networking among all members

Giphy

In the real world, its all about who you know. One of your sisters may be the next president.

7. Teaches responsibility

Giphy

Paying dues on time, being punctual, and turing in items will teach you how to adult correctly.

8. Extra study space

Giphy

With a house to go to, you always have somewhere to go that isn't the old library.

9. Lifelong friends

Giphy

This cheesy reason is one that is very true. You will find the friends you've always wanted within the sorority you choose.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
