All potential new members (PNMs) must go through the excitement and anxiousness that is recruitment week before becoming a member of their sorority. It's filled with good times and hard times, but the friends you make along the way will be some that last a life time. While going through this process, as a PNM you will experience a lot of different emotions and have so many thoughts on the process, just a few of which are mentioned here.
1. You realize your other friends are going out for recruitment too.
You're excited to experience this journey with a few close friends, but you're even more excited for the friends you're going to make along the way. They're all so sweet and are always more than happy to throw a compliment your way.
2. You exude confidence as you go to the first mixer.
3. You realize how badly you need a nap afterwards.
You realize the girls may be right, and this week is going to be exhausting, but it's so going to be worth it. A few cups of coffee (and maybe a nap in between) and you're good to go!
4. You realize you're going to have to speak to a lot of different people.
The nerves start to settle in again as you worry if you're going to trip over your words or embarrass yourself, but the girls always try to make you relaxed and worry free.
5. You get used to the chatting and learn to be more excited than nervous.
You look forward to talking to the girls at the mixers, especially since you're in a silence period otherwise. You have great conversations with them and are so excited to see them again!
6. You attend formal night and see how close the girls all are.
Each formal ceremony is so special, and you can't help but fall in love a little bit with each one you attend. It's moving and personal and just makes you even that more excited to join.
7. You realize Bid Day is tomorrow and you can't contain your excitement.
Your heart is pounding and your pulse is racing. You're ecstatic to finally get your bid and meet your future sisters for life!
