Sorority Recruitment Week as Told By Ron Swanson
Odyssey

Let's be honest...sorority recruitment week is a different world. It is Red Bull, candy, coffee, late nights, lots of smiles, screaming, clapping, tears, and so much more. There is pain, lost voices, blistered feet, and lack of sleep but welcoming home dozens of new members on bid day makes it all worthwhile.

It's difficult to explain the reality of sorority recruitment week to those outside of the Greek community, but I'm going to do my best.

Here are all the ups, downs, and in betweens of sorority recruitment week as told by Ron Swanson.


1. When your recruitment officers ask if you're ready to start the longest week of your life

2. When your recruitment officers remind you to keep smiling

3. Getting hyped to talk about your organization's history like

5. After that sixth cup of coffee kicks in before the last round of the day

6. Finishing a round, losing your voice, chugging a Red Bull and lining up for the next round like

7. Telling all the potential new members why you love your organization and feeling like

8. When you finally get a break to eat (which are few and far between)

9. When you're finally released for the night and crawl into your bed with busted eardrums

10. When your recruitment officers catch you snapchatting

11. Pulling into Taco Bell after a stressful day like

12. Seeing your rush crush on Pref night

13. Finishing the last round of Pref night and looking at your sisters like

14. Getting ready for Bid Day like: can't wait to welcome home the new babies


Sorority recruitment can be a lot but one thing is for sure: it's worth it. Bonding with your sisters, welcoming home new members, and falling more in love with your organization makes all of the late nights, blistered feet, and lost voices worth it.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
