11 Thoughts During Sorority Recruitment: As Told By "Sisters"
Fast Company

National sorority recruitment has to be the one of the most fun, yet intimidating, experiences that for a college freshman. It’s two weeks of girl flirting and often repeating the same facts over and over again. The events are long, and by the end of the day, your face hurts from smiling so much. It is as if you are taking a whole separate class that involves memorizing names and putting those names to faces.

You spend time outside of rush events researching the sororities. You become a detective trying to figure out things like how much dues are, and what are the pledging processes like. It is as if bid day decides the fate of the rest of your college career. Preference of sorority is definitely up there for one of biggest life decisions you will ever make. As all the sisters tell you about how much they wish they could go back to rush, you, on the other hand, have 700 thoughts racing across your mind every second of the day. Here are just a few of them as told by the characters of the new movie, “Sisters.”

1. The outfit I am wearing has to be perfect.

2. I have to let all my weird out before I get there so I don't scare people away.

3. I need to step out of my comfort zone and not stand in the corner by the food tonight.

4. Hold on, hold on, I have to quickly look over everything I know about the sorority so far.

5. My inner emotions when someone tells me the love the same sorority as me.

6. On the outside, I'm pretending to be happy for them so no one knows that I am actually crazy.

7. Hopefully, everything will go my way today and nothing I say will backfire on me.

8. I definitely don't think I should have said that. By the look she just gave me, she probably thinks I am insane now.

9. Don't bring up anything about parties -- I can't show my raging alcoholic side yet.

10. I have to pretend to be amazed by hearing the same things over and over again.

11. After today, I no longer have the motivation to do anything and just want my bed.

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.

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.

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.
