Since I was on a campus with deferred recruitment, I would have studied much more and partied much less. No matter how many people you get to know around campus, if you don't have the grades to go through recruitment, you're sitting at home on bid night.

I would have registered for recruitment before the week it started, told my grandmother for certain that i was going through so she could put in her legacy intro form (that way she wouldn't still give me grief about not being her sister), wouldn't have transferred my senior year (esp. since i ended up transferring back a year later), definitely would have tried harder in my non-major classes and gotten involved in other activities.

I would've told myself to RELAX and let things happen. I was lucky that everyone was so nice -- I was so anxious! It's definitely not worth getting super worked up about.
