As the beginning of a new school year slowly rolls around, that also means it is nearing time for sorority recruitment. Having just gone through this process last year, I can attest to how nerve wracking, gut wrenching, yet fun, and rewarding this experience is. However, there are a few pieces of advice I would give to every girl planning to join a sorority this fall.

1. People will say "trust the process." Yes, it will be annoying, but also yes, you should do it.

You will worry yourself sick if you don't just trust that the system will place you in the house that is best suited for you.

2. Be yourself

Don't try to act like someone you aren't to get the house you think you want. Be yourself and see where you really belong.

3. Greek life is not everything

If you go Greek, you will have tons of fun, and it will be super rewarding. If you don't go Greek, your college experience is not destined for failure. You will still have awesome times and make great friends.

4. Don't over stress about your outfits

It will seem like life or death when it comes to picking what shoes to go with what dress, but it honestly does not matter. Be cute. Be comfortable. Be yourself.

5. Don't be nervous

I know that sounds impossible, but try to relax. The girls you are talking to are just that-girls. They have been through this before, and they want the best for you and their letters. Nerves just make the situation more awkward, so take a deep breath and trust the process!
