As Fall recruitment season comes to an end, sororities across the country have gained many new members. Once the bid has been accepted, now what do you do as a new member? In order to make the most of your experience as a new member in a sorority, you have to get involved. Attend as many events as you can. Meet as many active sisters as you can. Once you immerse yourself in the experience, you will be so excited for initiation and for the rest of your experience in your sorority as you go through college.

Keep in mind that big/little season approaches quickly once you join a sorority. Many girls are so excited to meet you and become your potential big! This is an exciting time and the more you get involved, the more sisters you will meet and there will be a better chance that you will really love whoever becomes your big. Keep an open mind when it comes to finding your big because even if you do not end up knowing your big really well at first, you can always get closer to her after big little reveal. Try not to get your heart set on one specific person you want as your big because you could end up being disappointed, but the big you do end up with will be so excited to have you. Try not to focus only on finding your big though, because this is also a time when you should be forming friendships with the other new members since you are all bonding over going through the same experience at the same time. The people in your pledge class can easily become forever friends (trust me).

So to all the new members out there, enjoy this experience because it is such a special time that will only happen once! We are so happy that you found your home!
