I Went Through Sorority Recruitment And I'm Still Shook, TBH

It's exhausting but actually really fun??

I Went Through Sorority Recruitment And I'm Still Shook, TBH

So first things first: I got in.

But that's a WHOLE other article.

Sorority recruitment week or "rush week," as it is more well known as, is an experience.

Since our recruitment week started Labor Day week, we started on Tuesday instead of Monday, which isn't too important, but yeah. Let's get into it.

The first night was orientation. Orientation was the most boring/worst part of the whole experience. You get introduced to the Rho Chis who are disenfranchised from their sororities to help out with the recruitment process and how everything works, and then you ask any questions that you have. Honestly, it kinda sucks.

Night two is cray-cray. Night two is when you meet every sorority and you scream at everyone in a room for an hour because you can't hear a word anyone says. It's also like super fun, and this is coming from an introvert. It's also the most casual night of the next three nights, so this is the night to wear shorts.

Night three is a little more specific; you dress a little fancier, you act a little quieter, and you boast a little bit more. This is the first night you can get dropped, which kinda sucks, not gonna lie.

Night four is invitation night. Invite night is the most stressful thing ever. You dress super fancy, you act super fancy, and you feel like you're being inducted into a cult. (You aren't btw.) Going to see if you got an invitation is probably the most stressful part of it all. I didn't realize I was holding in a breath until I got my invitation.

The most fun part of sorority recruitment is Bid Day, but as I previously stated, THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER ARTICLE.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
