Sorority recruitment is absolutely exhausting. The weeks leading up to recruitment are draining because of long practices and the adjustments of starting a new semester all at once. These are some of the emotions that I went through this past weekend being on the other side of sorority recruitment.

When you arrive to set-up

Matching with your sisters and feeling good because you look so classy

There's a knock at the door and it's announced that the girls are about to walk in

Then you just have to pull yourself together to welcome the PNMs

Listening to a PNM and realizing how perfect she is

Everything that could possibly go wrong does, but you just have to smile through it

Despite all of the hours of practice, you can't remember what you're supposed to do next

When you find out that a girl loves your sorority and she definitely wants to join

After the doors close and you're positive that the PNM that you spoke to loves your sisterhood

Recruitment is finally over, but it was definitely all worth it. The tears, lack of sleep, lack of food, and stress added up to an great recruitment weekend and an amazing new member class.
