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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
