Sorority Recruitment: Bitmoji Style

Attempting to explain the most emotional journey I've ever conquered, one Bitmoji at a time.

Sorority Recruitment: Bitmoji Style

Disclaimer: For those of you living under a technological rock who don't have a clue what Bitmoji is, it's basically emojis on steroids. Rated one of Google's Best Apps of 2014, Bitmoji provides you with the ability to proclaim your emotions using a mere image, just like you can with emojis, but through a customized avatar with a few sassy captions and pop culture references here and there.

Another disclaimer: Everybody's recruitment experience is different. I am in no way trivializing the process, because as torturous as it was at the time, it ends up working out for the best for the most part.

Registering for recruitment.

Shopping for the perfect pref dress.

Dieting to fit into the pref dress you just bought.

Going through the obligatory grooming: manicure, eyebrow waxing, haircut, etc.

Attending the pre-recruitment meeting that teaches PNMs what being in a sorority is really about.

Waking up at the actual crack of dawn in hopes of making it to Round One by the uncomfortably early hour of 8 A.M.

Anxiously waiting, crammed so tight in the living room of each house, that you can barely breathe.

Forgetting the girl's name who is rushing you, literally four seconds after she introduces herself.

Having to walk up three flights of stairs during the house tour and being 100 percent out of breath, and immediately regretting not going to the gym more frequently.

Looking at your schedule and realizing you have 10 minutes to walk in heels to a house on the complete other side of the Graham Cracker.

Telling someone your major and hometown for the seventh time that day.

Ranking.

Getting back to your dorm and changing into sweatpants after a solid ten hours of uninterrupted girl flirting.

Getting cut from the house whose Tumblr you stalked every single day leading up to recruitment.

Waking up on bid day.

Being surrounded by mass quantities of overwhelmingly excited strangers jumping up and down.

Realizing the house you ended up at was obviously the perfect fit for you all along.

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.

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.

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.
