Some Advice
Okay, first of all-you are graduating from one of the finest institutions in the United States! Second of all-you have been very involved in Greek Life, proving you were willing to give back to the community (IMHO).
The job search can suck. This is true. The best advice I can give you is that you have to be willing to take a job that you might normally feel is beneath you in order to find the job you want or love. When I graduated from Penn State with 3 degrees and a minor, preparing to work on my M.Ed., I actually applied (and got hired) to work as a Manager at Wendy's. I'm NOT kidding. Thankfully, during my spring break that semester before graduating, I had taken a trip to Harrisburg and took any and every Civil Service test I qualified for. I was hired as a Caseworker a few weeks out of school and never had to actually work at Wendy's.
The pay was horrible. To be honest, I ended up leaving after a few months to pursue my M.Ed. full-time because it was actually cheaper for me to be a full-time student working part-time than it was for me to be a part-time student working full-time. I have had much more luck since then finding jobs that paid double what I was getting as a Caseworker and I love the people! You can do it! Just keep your chin up!
