What It's Like To Go Through Sorority Recruitment

Girls are running around, trying to make sure their hair looks good, asking friends about outfits and nervously preparing questions. It can only mean one thing: sorority recruitment, and this year I was one of them.

On the first day I visited each sorority and was dazed by the energy and enthusiasm that they all seemed to have. That night as I was trying to figure out who I connected most with, all the names and faces seemed to connect and I was left more confused than when I had started.

On the second day I met with the groups that I narrowed down. I found that with some groups I was able to make a great first impression and keep a conversation going, but there was still some kind of social barrier between us. This meant that we just did not have a lot in common, and I probably would not be happy joining their group. That night as I thought I had the sorority I wanted to join figured out, but then preference day came along.

Preference day is where you meet your favorite sororities and they meet with their favorite girls. I met with my tops, and my opinions completely change. It was that day where I found the group of women that defined what should sisterhood mean. I was thrilled to find my home and receive a bid from them, meaning that I could join.

I would recommend joining a sorority to anyone interested, but I would recommend going through informal recruitment instead of formal recruitment to some. Unlike most girls I am an extrovert and I absolutely loved the idea of meeting and getting to know a bunch people. Most of the girls around me, however, were drained by the continuous social involvement. When bid day came around, every single girl was just as excited as me to go to their new sisters, which means that even though recruitment can be strenuous for most, at the end it is definitely worth it.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
