For some bigger schools, I know that this week has already happened. But recruitment at FDU is this week! Here are 10 tips to make sure you have the best possible week you can- whether you're already a sister looking for new members or you're a potential new member for the semester!!
1. Be Yourself.
During recruitment, it's so easy to get caught up in being who people want you to be, be yourself!! As a potential new member or a sister, that's the best way to have an authentic experience in this hectic week.
2. Be As Open As Possible.
While Starbucks might be calling your name, water is the key to staying hydrated (awake) and on your A-Game! Redbull is all fun and games but water comes first!!
4. Eat 3 Meals a Day!
Right behind water, food is the most important thing! If you have to bring a snack, no harm no foul! No one is going to be upset with you for keeping yourself healthy.
5. Check-in with yourself.
It's easy to get caught up in everything. If it's for 5 minutes after or before every day of the recruitment process, that's how you know what you'll need. That way you will know if you should bring the extra snack, the extra water, or if greek life isn't your thing. There are always no hard feelings if you don't want to go out anymore, it's better than overwhelming yourself and hating the process of it all.
6. Do what makes you happy.
For me, just sitting in my room and thinking about how recruitment was going was what helped me make my decision in the end. However you get your me-time, take the time to do so! It could be super stressful but shouldn't be!
9. Sleep!
It's super easy to lose some ZZZs during recruitment. Do your best to get your 8-hours so you can rejuvenate. I know I am not the same person when I am well rested vs. when I'm tired.
10. HAVE FUN!!
For all parties during recruitment, it's easy to let yourself get stressed. Recruitment is supposed to be fun!! It's one of my favorite times in the semester because it's so exciting! Just remember that everything happens for a reason, and you deserve a kick-ass recruitment, so help yourself out!
