For most colleges, its that time of year again… it’s recruitment season! If you’re not at a college that is going through rush, I can guarantee that recruitment season’s just around the corner. But why even care about recruitment? What’s the point? Why celebrate the occasion? What could you possibly gain from going through recruitment and joining a fraternity or sorority?
Yeah there’s the connections that you can make and social aspect that’ll bring you fame and more likes on Instagram, but most of us are either thinking: “That’s not what I’m looking for” or “I don’t need to pay [insert a ridiculous amount of money] to buy those connections or buy a group of friends.”
I can tell you right now, from experience, Greek life is so much more than that. I’ve gain so much more beyond the connections and friendships. Now don’t get me wrong, the connections and friendships will go a long way, I don’t doubt that nor am I ungrateful for them; but Greek life has given me a place to grow and a place to “grow up” with an incredibly loving family and with some unforgettable memories.
10 Reasons Why We Should Celebrate the Occasion:
The TLC -- "Because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more. LYLAS!"

To answer the big question in hand, why rush? Why go greek? Why not?! Why not find a home and a family that'll love you unconditionally, support and push you through your ups and downs, grow with you and be there with you every step of the way, and dance crazy with you on top of a table while jamming to your favorite song? Why not?!
