Recruitment Made Me Re-Fall In Love With My Sorority

Going through recruitment as a sister made me re-fall in love with my sorority.

Recruitment Made Me Re-Fall In Love With My Sorority

Recruitment. You just thought, "stress, tough, long days." But I just thought, "Love. Friends. Sisters." I will be honest, going through recruitment on the other side of things and already being in my sorority made me extremely nervous. How was I going to know what to do? What if I messed up? What was I going to say to these girls coming through? I could not hardly sleep the night before the first day, I was that nervous.

What recruitment did for me though was made me re-fall in love with the sorority I hold so close to my heart. The first night of recruitment made me truly realize what my organization stands for and believes in and the values that I need to continue to hold myself to each and every day. It also made me become comfortable around girls I had never reached out to before. I found myself becoming even closer with my sisters and the sisters I am the closest with, I saw us go from sisters to the best of friends.

I realized on the night we went over our philanthropy how much this organization truly did for others. It is not all about the sisterhoods and friendships we make, but also about the help we give back to others. It makes me tear up knowing that I give back to something bigger than myself. The fact I am making a difference in the world makes me ecstatic. If it was not for my sorority I more than likely would never have developed the passion I have for our specific philanthropy.

On our last night of recruitment I could not help tearing up multiple times. I thought about a year ago, the night I truly fell in love with my sorority for the first time. Here I was, older, wiser, and re-falling in love with it again, except this time I fell in love even more. I had memories with this organization to share and I had a passion to continue to get more involved.

My sorority has changed my life. It has made me realize that I have sisters who are always going to back me no matter what. I have people to turn to when I feel the world is against me. I have those close bonds that not many others can say they truly have.

To my sisters, I love each and every one of you so dearly. You are all beautiful women inside and out and I thank you for all you have done for me. Thank you for pushing me as a sorority woman to be my best at all times.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
