Sorority formal recruitment is one of the most stressful weeks for a lot of college girls. There is so much preparation that goes into play for this week full of numerous parties. Girls are worrying about which house they are going to run to at the end of the week, and if they're even going to get to run to a house at all. After recently going through recruitment myself, I have some advice for the girls who have yet to do so.

Whether you know everything about all of the sororities on campus or you know nothing, your attitude going into recruitment should be the same. If you go into each house with the rumors about them in your head, you might miss your opportunity to connect with great girls. Go into each house with the same attitude, and always keep an open mind. I went into recruitment thinking I was going to be a member of a certain house, and it turned out I ran to the house I never thought I would - and I never looked back. I was blessed with better friends than I ever imagined. Although I had my heart set on one house, I still tried to keep an open mind with each party I went to throughout the week.

Besides keeping an open mind, the next issue girls tend to face is anxiety and worry. There's so much worry about what to say. You try to say all the right things, and stray away from saying anything wrong (if you even know the difference). The truth is, there aren't any right or wrong things to say. The girls that you will rush will want you for you, not who you pretend to be for the week.

Just like you want to be a part of an amazing sisterhood, these girls want you too. The ultimate advice I can give you about sorority recruitment is to be yourself. Every house you go to make sure you look around, and ask yourself if you could see yourself there. Don't just rule out a house because of the things you hear, because we all know that the majority of rumors are never true.

You'll end up where you're suppose to be, so just be yourself.
