Go Greek

Get involved.

Go Greek
Alexis Bommarito

College is hard, confusing and a whole new world. I have always been the type of person to get really involved, so when I came to school it was a no-brainer that I was going to rush a sorority! It is not like this for everyone I was just lucky that I had prior experience on getting myself out there, and joining groups of people. For some the process is scary - three long days of chatting, talking about yourself and your goals in life. If you are scared or nervous of this process do it anyways! It will be a great experience. I can promise you is that after the three long days it is so worth it.

Going through the process is for sure long, but it will go by so fast. You will not be the only one with questions, or the only one that is super nervous. Day one will be full of chatter on who is scared, and what should you expect. Day two is a little more calm-- you know what your doing but the hardest part is prefing your sororities you want at the end of the night. In high hopes that your top picks want you top brings the nerves of day three, after you know where you are going for the day it is smooth sailing--most walk in the room with confidence ready to see what is in store for you at your favorite sorority! Hands down the longest process is bid day - nervewracking and exciting is the only words to describe this day. Waiting to get called to get your bid is enough to drive you insane. Once you get that bid no mater if it is your first or second choice--you got that bid for a reason. My advice is to trust the process and enjoy the moment. Your new sisters are so happy to welcome you home the love is radiating off them!

Rushing has instantly given me so much. Gaining new friends (sistas), a support group, love, ways to get involved and most of all unbreakable bonds-- these are just a few. I promise you nothing will beat finding your home.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
