So recruitment starts in TWO DAYS!! I'm really excited and I feel comfortable that most of the people in my hall, a lot of freshmen that I know and my roommate are going through it too.
I'm actually getting a little nervous and I'm going to the mall today to get one more outfit for one of the rounds.
In case you were wondering there are:
2 open house rounds where I do not rank at all.
a skit round where I rank the top 4 and last 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th choices
a philanthropy round where I rank the top 2 and 2nd choice
a pref round where i rank my 1st and 2nd choice (if you get invited to up to two)
and bid day
This process spans for more than a week and I'll have to juggle classes and may have to skip practices and meeting for the extracurriculars that I am already in, but it'll be worth it.
I really wanted to keep an open mind, but its really hard becuase rush is all anyone is talking about and you hear things like
shocking pink is the prettiest and number one sorority, therefore impossible to get into or
macaroni and cheese is the bottom and has to struggle to get girls or that
bittersweet shimmer has so many girls from one religion that they don't take anyone else. But its reassuring to have a chance to meet the sisters in each organization and realize that the stereotypes don't match up.
Those are the two things I have to remember, to be myself, and to have a open mind. So I'm off to the mall now. Wish me luck!
