'Tis the season for moving back to school...which means recruitment...which means, dun dun dun...work week. Also known as the one time a year when we willingly give up our last week of summer to move back early and work our butts off, all for the sake of ~sisterhood~ and making sure everything is perfect to recruit a new pledge class. Sure, the bonding is fun and of course we'd do anything for our sisters, but also, work week is exhausting.
1. When told to redo something for the millionth time
As in: "Can you rewrite that sign, but move the letters up half an inch?" *smiles on the outside and screams on the inside*
2. When running on less than 6 hours of sleep
You'll start to wonder if you're actually losing your sanity and need to rely on your sisters to remind you of what's happening.
3. When asked a question you have no opinion on
Yes, I am desperately trying to care about whether or not we should change the bows to a shade lighter...but I just do see why it matters so much.
4. When someone throws you under the bus
Sends death glare over the heads of hundreds of other girls...
5. When you miss your name at roll call
Real friendship is imitating someone else's voice so they don't get fined for running a few minutes late.
6. When the day goes longer than the schedule said it would
Mantra: Complaining won't make it end faster.
7. When you finally crack
Also known as that night when everything is going wrong and everyone is dancing on your last nerve and you just start hysterically laughing, like a deranged person.
8. When someone is yelling after 10 p.m. and keeping you awake
What kind of monster wastes valuable sleeping hours?
9. When your voice sounds like an adolescent boy
Chanting at the top of your lungs all day for an entire week only has negative results on the vocal chords; if you can speak above a whisper, you're doing it wrong.
10. When you have to search for something in the creepy basement
My brain @ me: "You know what we haven't thought about for a while? Ghosts."
11. When you're waiting to eat lunch
Surely no one notices that I'm hovering around the door to the kitchen, right?
12. When you remember you'll have a whole new pledge class in a week
Because even though it's more work than you could have possibly imagined and even though your sisters have started to drive you crazy, it's all worth it in the end. What's better than adding dozens of new voices and personalities to the craziness that is Greek life?
