May your experience be as exciting as a day in the life of the folks of The Office.

When you realize how late you have to stay up getting everything ready, and then have to get up at the crack of dawn the next day.

*stays up until 3 a.m. making decorations* *has to wake up at 6 a.m. to get ready*

Trying to get everyone in the chapter to be quiet so the PNMs can't hear you from outside.

Nearly impossible.

Getting nervous before the very first party on the first day.

Those jitters will get you.

And then the first group walks in the house and now you're really freaking out.

ACT NATURAL. BE NORMAL.

There will always be that one girl that thinks she's too good for your house.

Kill her with kindness.

When one of your rush crushes doesn't come back the next day.

DANG IT.

Preference round can, and will, be emotional.

Hope you wore waterproof eyeliner!

When you get the bid list, and your rush crush is now your sister.

FUTURE LITTLE.

When your best friend is a Gamma Chi, and she re-affiliates on bid day.

Two weeks without talking was two weeks too long.

When you see how much money the chapter spent on stuff for bid day.

Worth it.

When you get the best pledge class ever.
