How The Other Side Feels During Recruitment

I love my Zistas.

How The Other Side Feels During Recruitment
Alicia Vickers

Recruitment is known as "hell week" for those that are in a sorority and those that are looking to join one. It is a week full of tears, sweat, and feet dying from high heels. You have no sleep, you barely even eat, but this week is also a week you grow an immense appreciation for your friends and sisters surrounding you. Here are some situations I personally experienced that made my love grow.

1. When your excitement kicks in while you're waiting in line to pick up your PNM.

2. When you and your friend are fighting over a rush crush.

3. When your feet hurt from your shoes and they trade shoes with you.

4. When you almost pass out from dehydration and they give you their last bag of goldfish and water bottle.

5. When you're at the house until 2 a.m. decorating and you use your friend as a pillow.

6. When you and your bump buddy are both obsessed with the same girl and she lets you pref her.

7. When your bump group all consecutively decide one girl is a big no.

8. When you can fall asleep on a couch in the middle of the entire sorority screaming and singing.

9. When you're getting ready to door chant and you all exchange a "not again" look and then burst in to the biggest smile.

10. When you just completed the final party on the final night and the entire chapter blasts the stereo and has a random giant dance party.

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.
