Recruitment As Told By Friends
Evil Beet Gossip

School is back in session and girls are screaming everywhere as they run home to their sororities. A little-known fact of recruitment is that is the most stressful time for any PNM/ Recruitment Staff Member/ and Active Chapter members.

This stressful time is filled with so many emotions, but by the time is over, you are happy that you went through it all.

So, here are the stages of recruitment as told by Friends.

PNM: When you are waiting for the recruitment link to come out.

Active Sister: When you just get back to campus from summer vacation and you get bombarded with recruitment information.

PNM: When you finally see all the sorority women on campus and you get overwhelmed.

Recruitment Counselor: When a PNM hints that she knows your affiliation.

Active Sister: Right before the first group of PNMs are walking in for the first round and you aren't ready.

PNM: When you didn't get invited back to your number one choice.

Recruitment Counselor: When you have to counsel the PNM who didn't get invited back to her number one choice.

PNM: When you get your bid and you get to run home.


Recruitment Counselor: When you finally get to go back home to your sisters.

Active Sisters: When you get old and new sisters and you realize that recruitment is over.


All: When you get to spend time with your sisters and be one big happy family... until next year.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
