7 Fears Of Every Girl Going Through Sorority Recruitment

It's that time of year...spring sorority recruitment.

Going through formal sorority recruitment is an exciting, but mostly very scary time. Here are just a couple common fears that all girls going through rush face.

1. What do I wear?

Looking through your closet, there are so many options but nothing good to actually wear.

2. How do I look?

It's the last look check-up before walking into a sorority house. Does your hair, makeup and outfit look alright? Do you have anything in your teeth? Please don't let there be spinach.

3. How do I know which house to go to? I don't know how to read Greek.

I think it's Delta that looks like a triangle. What is this thing that looks like a bent "E"? And I definitely know what Pi is...math class. Whatever, I'll just google it.

4. What if I'm awkward? What if the conversation sucks?

There's just something so intimidating about talking to 20+ random girls throughout an evening that you're trying to impress. Having an awkward conversation with someone is one of my worst nightmares. Could one bad conversation ruin my chance of getting into a certain sorority?

5. What if my top sorority doesn't want me back?

We all have a sorority in mind that we want to be a part of. The best is when you walk into their house and just have that magical feeling. Unfortunately, it's not just up to you. You may want a certain sorority, but they have to want you back.

6. What if I don't get a bid? Then what?

We all have this sinking feeling towards the end of recruitment. What if this doesn't work out? What if we made it all the way through rush without getting a single bid from a sorority? Or even worse, what if it from a sorority we don't like?

7. What if I don't get in the sorority that my friends get in?

Two words...major FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). No likes to be the friends that gets left behind.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
