5 Reasons To Go Through Panhellenic Recruitment

Go Greek! Even if you don't think that you're the sorority girl "type," just try it out. Pay the small fee to go through recruitment and I promise it will be worth it. Maybe you're thinking, "what if I don't like it?" So what? Nobody says you have to join a sorority at the end if you really don't want to. Just go through recruitment and learn the truth behind the reasons why you should.

1. Even if you decide joining a sorority isn't for you and you drop out of recruitment, you still meet some amazing girls. Sorority girls may have a negative reputation portrayed by the media, but when you go through recruitment you'll meet girls that are strong, inspiring, and absolute fun to be around.

2. You meet girls that share your interests and values and then you become sisters. Once you find your niche, you hate to be away from it and find yourself feeling like you could take on the world with your sisters.

3. With that said, you find your home away from home. Your sorority becomes your family and support system, especially while away at school. Sad? Call a sister and she'll be there to comfort you and help you finish a pint of ice cream. Happy? Call a sister and she'll be happy with you and even go out with you to celebrate. You're never short on people that love you and it's a wonderful feeling.

4. There are some pretty awesome themed mixers. Every Greek community across the country has different and unique mixers and my favorites were Mathletes and Athletes as well as the ABC (anything but clothes) party. It's fun to see how unique and goofy people can get with their costumes, even though it costs you some weird looks when you're leaving your dorm room. And is there a better way to get cute pictures to put on Instagram? No...the answer is no.

5. You will make memories and friends that last a lifetime. Before joining my sisterhood, I didn't realize that it truly lasted a lifetime until we went to brunch with some alumni. At my table were two women in their 80s and they told me about how they were best friends and sisters in college, they were in each other's weddings, and now they're neighbors in their cute beach neighborhood in St. Augustine, Florida. Adorable, right? That's what going Greek will do for you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
