The Rush Of Prepping For Sorority Recruitment, As Told By Elle Woods

In This Article:

August and September are typically the busiest months for college women in Greek life. It almost seems like every little decision or consideration comes back to the fact that soon we'll be welcoming new sisters. I know Elle Woods would be able to pull together an amazing recruitment, so let's turn to her to see what the month leading up to new sisters is like!

1. Planning decorations and themes

Giphy

She's not afraid of failing. Delta Nu would have the best themes!

2. Choosing a lipstick to match your recruitment dress

Giphy

Pink lipstick all the way. For any dress.

3. Needing to get away from the craziness after a long day with your sisters

Giphy

For Elle, it's chocolates. For me, it'd be pizza.

4. "Are you stressed and overwhelmed?"

Giphy

Luckily, you have other people to dump your stress on.

5. Getting sassy when picking out your recruitment dress

Giphy

Nope, not taking it.

6. Listening to other's past recruitment horror stories

Giphy

It's always good to make sure the awkward doesn't happen again.

7. When people finally get the hang of "bumping"

Giphy

For those who don't know, "bumping" is a term for transitioning between two sisters when talking to a PNM. Woohoo!

8. Practicing house tours

Giphy

If only we were all so confident.

9. The important pep talks over spirit week

Giphy

Faith in yourself = confidence transferred to your new sisters!

Happy recruitment prep-month, everyone!

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
