Recruitment is definitely an experience, but a great one. Here are five things I wish I knew before I joined the Greek life community.

Express Your Own Style

During every round of recruitment, you will be asked to dress with professionalism and it becomes fancier every day you're there. It is extremely important to feel comfortable in what you are wearing. The right sorority will accept you no matter the style you present, but make sure it fits within the professional guidelines.

Keep An Open Mind

Some sororities may surprise you in all that they have to offer. It is perfectly fine to not know anything about greek life beforehand... it can even make the process more fun! Pay attention to the bigger picture... if you feel comfortable and happy, that is the place for you.

It Is OK To Be Hesitant

Decisions about which houses to cut on your list can be extremely difficult. You may love different people from each sorority but realize that certain houses as a whole are not for you. They won't hate you afterward, they'll likely still want you in their life.

You Will Become Great In Interviews

After many rounds of conversations and answering questions, you will likely get better in your interview skills. It will truly show you what you value most in your life and you will become even more confident in who you are. Even if you are not loving a house you're talking to, still, maintain a positive attitude and realize it is just more interview practice.

Take Care Of Yourself

This can be an extremely stressful time and can hurt your body if you're not careful. Making sure you obtain enough sleep, eating healthy and resting your voice when you can all help in preventing illness and negativity. Talking to your group leaders can also help with anxiety or unhappy emotions.

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.
