Why You Should Go Through Sorority Recruitment

Going into college can be a very scary experience. Leaving behind your high school friends, your home and your family, puts all sorts of emotions in you. But the number one thing you should know about college: “IT IS OKAY TO BE SCARED”. One of the best choices I've made while in college was joining a sorority. Through the sorority recruitment process, you will be able to find your new "home" at college.

If you are like I was freshman year, you are going into this process with a completely open mind and treading into unknown waters. The first night of recruitment is overwhelming, as you will see hundreds of girls all trying to find their “perfect one” and wondering if yours really does exist. Believe me, it does.

I am not the “common” sorority girl as people in this day and age have labeled it. Which is often a great thing about many sororities, each one is very diverse in different ways. Are you an athlete? Perfect, there are many intramurals and Greek week events that you can be a part of. Are you an artist? Awesome, we always need artistic help in designing and painting our event banners. Are you a very technological person? First off, kudos to you, we always need someone to help with videos, running social media, etc. Sorority members partake in a variety of activities that allow everyone to show their unique abilities.

There are so many perks with joining a sorority. Personally, one of my favorites is the t-shirts. Who wouldn’t want to wear cute t-shirts that show off your sorority all around campus? Another great part of joining a sorority is you make so many friends so fast. Don’t know where to sit on the first day in class? All good, look for someone wearing the same shirt as you and boon, instant connection for study buddy/new friend. Further down the line, sororities really help with getting a job. If you become a part of a sorority with chapters all over, then there will be so many networking opportunities for you in the future.

So yes, break out of our comfort shell and go through sorority recruitment, you will not be sorry. If I had not gone out of my comfort zone and did it, I would not have experienced the best decision of college so far.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
