Yay! A summery, beachy retro recruitment!

Hello there. I figured summer is a fab time to post a recruitment story, since there are no live stories going on

Anyway, my school has a semi -competetive Greek system. It's not cut throat, but for where it's located, it's a decent system. I really didn't know if I was going to go through recruitment or not. My friends basically laughed when I told them - we were pretty anti girly-girl in high school, though over the summer as I distanced myself from them a little bit and realized they were kind of stuck on themselves alot of the time. I tried to convince them that the Greek system wasn't just for girly-girls - that anyone could fit into it. And anyway, as I had time to distance myself, I found myself questioning their "anti girly girl" sentiments. Please excuse me, I just realized how pretentious I sounded all through that. I'm really not pretentious.

In the end, I did decide to go through. My aunt became really sick towards the end of the summer, and it was really taking a toll on my family. I realized I would need a support system since I was going to be pretty far from home, and what better way than to join a sorority with a built in support system? It seemed like something that would really benefit me.

Anyway, there are 9 sororities at my school. I decided to make it a summer theme! They are:

Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Watermelon Sangria
Beach Bum Surfer Boys
Beach Volleyball
Super Glam Tan
Cocktail Umbrellas
Sex on the Beach (the drinks, of course!)
Yummy Flipflops
Jet Skis

I went in to recruitment with an open mind - I had my preconceived notions, but I was determined determined determined not to let it affect my view of the house once I was there. Stereotypes and reputations were not important to me. I just wanted to accept each house as it is.
