The 7 Stages of Sorority Recruitment As Told By Kim Kardashian

Finally it was here, the day I’d been waiting for since I got to college: Sorority Recruitment. My stomach felt heavy. I was nervous that I would not make a good first impression. I was packed in a room of eager, well-dressed girls, who were hoping to stand out. While somewhat exhausting and emotionally draining, my journey through rush was one which I will never forget. Not only did I meet amazing women throughout the process, but I also learned a great deal about myself. So, here are some of the stages that you may experience or may have experienced while going through sorority rush or recruitment.

1. The I feel confident, but I’m secretly so nervous stage

While you’re sitting waiting to start your day, you may feel excited, eager, but also a bit overwhelmed. You’re unsure what to expect, what kinds of questions you may be asked, and which girls you are going to get along with. My advice is give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself how awesome you are, and make sure you look classy. Right Kim?

2. The I did not realize how exhausting this process would be stage.

After hours of girl-flirting A.K.A (glirting), swelled up feet from the cute yet highly uncomfortable heels that you insisted on wearing, and the feeling that you could actually eat anything in sight, you realize that the only thing to do is to go to bed immediately so that you can wake up and do it again the next day. Kim understands!

3. The I feel like my life is ending stage

As soon as you find out which houses did not ask you back, it may be extremely emotional. You start thinking to yourself what did I do wrong? Was it something I said? Did they make a mistake? It may feel like a break up, and with that, there may be some tears. Kim’s mom knows a lot about tears!

4. The I need to call my mom stage

Right after schedules are distributed, you may look around and see hundreds of girls calling their moms who are anxiously waiting to hear the news. I know my mom was glued to her phone each round. This stage actually goes on all day everyday! Kim is always updating her mom about the latest drama!

5. The I need to hear what every single other girl is doing stage

Finally, after you’ve survived the first round of cuts, you may be oh-so eager to hear what other girls are doing. You feel the need to compare schedules and tell them exactly where you’re going and if you’re excited to be going back. The trouble is, the more you hear, the more nervous and confused you may get. Kim’s sister, Kourtney, is the master of confusion.


6. The I’m so conflicted stage

On preference round, if you get invited back to more than one house, you may be extremely conflicted, thinking that this is the biggest decision you have yet to make. As you sit in the room to fill out your first and second choices, you may hear the sounds of clicking pens as anxious girls go back and forth over which house they would like to "pref." The fact is, there probably isn’t a bad decision, but it certainly feels like you better get this right. Kim gets this.

7. The OMG this feels like the absolute best day of my life stage.

As you anxiously tare open your bid day letter, to see the name of the house in which you have been selected to pledge membership, you may feel an overwhelming sense of happiness, as you scream and run to meet your new sisters! This is honestly an incredible moment that I will never forget. Kim definitely knows the feeling!

The journey through sorority recruitment, though emotionally draining at times, was overall a great experience. While going through the process, it's important to remember that sorority recruitment by no means defines who you are. If you're like Kim Kardashian and tend to overreact, think of this maybe as a learning experience, possibly a new sisterhood, or just a small fraction of your college experience, because at the end of the day, everything works out! While there were definitely ups and downs throughout the process, I am extremely excited to be involved in Greek life and the amazing journey that lies ahead.

Shoutout to my “phabulous” new sisters :)

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
