To the Girl Going Through Sorority Recruitment, Here Are 11 Tips and Tricks To Help You Through

Emily Brock

These are tips and tricks I learned going through recruitment as a New Member and as a sorority member!

1. Dress cute, but comfortable

No matter if you're at a small school or a large school dressing comfortable is key. The days will be long and you want to impress each sorority! So dress cute but comfortable so you're not miserable!

2. Be yourself

Don't go in being someone you're not. At the end of all of it, you'll be unhappy because you're in a place that isn't right for you because you were acting like someone else. If you like to talk, talk. If you're quiet that's OK! Just be yourself!

3. Stay true to yourself

Stay true to your beliefs, your likes, and your dislikes! This is what draws you to a sorority and how you find the one you fit into!

4. Don't be afraid to ask questions in the houses

Asking questions not only helps you find out more about the sorority but it also helps the sorority see that you are interested in them! It makes the conversation flow and everyone gets to know you on a more personal level!

5. Talk, Talk, Talk

Don't be afraid to make conversation! The houses want to get to know you and want you to feel comfortable! Yes, this is a very awkward situation but by talking it makes it easier! You'll always hear this during recruitment but the girls talking to you are just as nervous as you are!

6. Get to know the girls in your group

Here at Troy, our recruitment groups are called our Phi Chi groups, but no matter where you get to know them! Some of them will be your good friends or just familiar faces you see around campus!

7. Don't let your decision be based off of your friends

This is your decision. Do not let it be based on your friends or what others are doing! Don't go somewhere just because your friend is, it might not pay off for you in the end because you might not like it! You want to be like these beautiful ladies! ^^

8. Keep up with your schedule

Don't be late to any parties because you might not be able to go back! Attending the parties and events are imperative to keep up with your schedule.

9. Bring a rain jacket (especially if you are going to school in the south)

In the South, during fall it always rains especially in the month of August, which is when most sorority recruitments take place. Be prepared!

10. Bring snacks

You are going all day and sometimes you will not be able to go back to your dorm or get to a place to eat. Food and drink are imperative!

11. Get plenty of sleep

This week is going to be super stressful! Try to get plenty of rest and sleep because once recruitment is over, classes start and you will not have much time for sleep!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
