It tends to be stressful because it is a week of interviews. It can be fast-paced, and despite the fact that you're only spending 20-40 minutes at each sorority each day, you can get emotionally attached to a particular chapter. Objectively, it should not be so terrible, but anyone who has been through it will tell you it is the worst AND best week of your life!
Just go in with an open mind to joining A sorority, and not getting too caught up in just one from the get-go. If most of the ladies coming into recruitment come in with alumnae recommendations, make sure you follow suit. At most schools, there is a law of diminishing returns based on your year in school. Juniors and seniors tend to get fewer invites than the underclassmen. This doesn't mean you won't receive a bid to A sorority--- it just means that you may have fewer to choose from.
Sorority recruitment is a mutual selection process. However, the sororities choose who they wish to invite back. Keep an open mind and remember that your impressions of them at recruitment are only the most surface level impressions.
