Sorority Recruitment Survival Guide

Recruitment week can be stressful, but here are some tips to help you through what may seem like a scary week (it's not really that scary!)

DO: Be yourself. You want to surround yourself with girls like you- the only way you can find the sorority for you is by being true to yourself.

DON'T: Act like you are someone you're not. At the end of recruitment, you'll regret it.

DO: Look your best. It'll make you feel more confident! SLAY LADIES!!

DON'T: Roll out of bed.

DO: Wear deodorant. Wherever you go to school, it's probably going to be hot during recruitment. You're going to be running from house to house and sweating a lot! Make sure you smell good and fresh!

DON'T: Wear perfume. Too much perfume in one place can be overwhelming. You want to smell fresh- not like your going out.

DO: Listen intently to what the girls have to say. You want to engage in the conversation and learn as much as you can about each sorority!

DON'T: Be afraid to ask questions. There is so much to know, and it's hard to learn everything about a sorority in a short amount of time. If you have anything on your mind, don't be afraid to ask. I guarantee the girls will be happy to answer!

DO: Take care of yourself during recruitment week. It is going to be a long week. Make sure you eat healthily and get sleep. The last thing you want to happen during recruitment week is getting sick.

DON'T: Be afraid to drink the drinks at the houses. This may seem like an obvious statement, but trust me, nerves may get the best of you. However, the drinks are there for a reason. Drink them and stay hydrated- especially if it's hot!

DO: Have fun! It is fun and exciting to meet so many new women! You may find a really good friend out of recruitment, and it is kind of fun to see how each sorority is different!

DON'T: Have a closed mind during recruitment. Go into each house with an open mind and maximize your options. Trust me, the system works, and you won't be disappointed with any house you get. Each sorority is amazing at every school, and your experience is what you make it!


Best of Luck!

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
