10 Songs That Accurately Describe Sorority Recruitment
Kayla A. Landsberger

Recruitment, the week of pure hell that we all secretly love. The time has finally come where you and your 100 other sisters start searching for new humans to fill your wonderful chapters. While recruitment has just occurred and or is upcoming for many of us, we all seem to know what's in store for us all. Here's 10 songs that accurately sum up the week of recruitment.

1. Don't Let Me Down - The Chainsmokers

When your recruitment chair starts preaching during chapter about what needs done for the week and it's just like..

"I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-Don't let me down"

2. My House - Flo Rida

THE PNM'S ARE KNOCKING!!! SHHHHHH!!!!

"Hear a knock on the door and the night begins
Cause we done this before so you come on in
Make yourself at my home, tell me where you been"

"WELCOME TO MY HOUSE!"

Aka how everyone is feeling on the first night of recruitment.

3. Can't Feel My Face - The Weekend

How we're feeling after the first night of giving those house tours in heels.

"I can't feel my *feet* when I'm with you
But I love it"

4. Shake It Off - Taylor Swift

When you hear people bashing sororities and you're just like..

"I stay up too late, got nothing in my brain
That's what people say mmm, that's what people say mm"

"But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music in my body saying it's gonna be alright

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off"

5. Let It Go - James Bay

When your rush crush doesn't come back for the next day and you're just heartbroken.

"So come on let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me"

6. Sit Still, Look Pretty - Daya

When you're trying to explain to your PNM that sorority girl stereotypes are NOT accurate.

"This queen don't need a king

Oh I don't know what you've been told
But this gal right here's gonna rule the world
Yeah that is where I'm gonna be, because I wanna be
No I don't wanna sit still, look pretty"

7. Breakeven - The Script

When someone asks you how recruitment is working out with classes, having a job, and an internship.

"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing"

8. Let Me Love You - DJ Snake

When your rush crush is unsure about recruitment and you're trying convince them to stick it out.

"Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you"

9. Best Day Of My Life - American Authors

Waking up and realizing that recruitment is finally over and you can sleep.

"I'm never gonna look back

Woah, never gonna give it up
No, please don't wake me now

This is gonna be the best day of my life
My li-i-i-i-i-ife"

10. Birthday - Katy Perry

Just the entire bid day experience. Glitter. Pictures. New humans. LOVE.

"When you're with me
I'll give you a taste
Make it like your *BID DAY* everyday"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
