5 Questions I Don't Want To Hear Until Fall Recruitment 2015

Recruitment is finally over along with all the small talk. 

We all have a love/hate relationship with recruitment. We love seeing new faces and potential littles or grand-littles. We develop rush crushes. Plus it's a time where we get to brag about our sorority and greek life. First rounds, however, can start to become a drag. Our voices become hoarse from endless chanting. Our dances are permanently embedded into our brains, so we look like peppy robots. Last but not least the conversations start to become repetitive. We ask and answer the same questions for 12 rounds, and PNM's eventually catch on to the routine. Now that recruitment is over I'm happy I don't have to hear these questions until next year. 

Question 1: What's your name? We obviously have to ask this question. You can't go an entire round talking to a girl and not know her name. Sometimes though her name slips from your brain, and you have to slyly take a glance at her name tag without it looking like you're staring at her chest.

Question 2: Where are you from? This is a hit or miss question. Either you know their hometown or you don't. When you don't it can be kind of awkward, and it's time to change the topic. 

Question 3: What's your major? The most famous question of them all. Not only will you hear this question non-stop during recruitment, but you will be asked this your entire college career. 

Question 4: Why did you choose Ball State? This is a stupid question. Why wouldn't you choose Ball State?  Ball State is great. I actually feel bad for the people who didn't choose to attend BSU. 

Question 5: Why did you decide to Go Greek? Most respond with it's a great way to make new friends and be more involved. Others were persuaded by their roommates or friends. Some come from a long line of greek life alumni. No matter the reason it will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

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.
