Well... Here we are. Summer is going by fast and as a new member of my sorority I am fully living the next few weeks up to the fullest because we all know that that dreadful whole week before school comes with exhaustion, lost voices, blisters, too much makeup, hardcore singing, and oh wait, it's known as Work Week.

Let me be completely honest here, I am terrified. I mean don't get me wrong, going through rush last year was very scary and I could not be more thankful that I found my home and had an amazing year, but this time the roles are reversed. I am the girl talking to the scared little freshman all dressed up sitting in an unfamiliar house while they tell us their whole life stories. I have to be the ones to judge the girls one by one as they enter the house and thinking if they would be a good addition to our chapter. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING SO FAST.

The week or two before recruitment as I mentioned is called work week in which we as a chapter practice our door jams, introductions, house tours, philanthropy rounds, pref rounds, and more; this means no sleep and lots of talking. Then on top of that, we have school during the week of recruitment which means no sleep, more stress, and no time to do anything except to be at the house bright and early every day or staying till the wee hours of the night deciding which girls to keep and let go. As you can tell, this is quite a process and only a few will survive; literally not kidding cause half the chapter is going to get sick or something.

But, in the end, you see those girls walk across the stage and run home to you and they give you that satisfying feeling of knowing you picked the right ones. So guys, being a first timer am I scared out of my mind to be on the other side of recruitment? YOU BET I AM. But am I ready to meet new friends? OF COURSE.
