Hi guys!
A little about myself: I'm a sophomore at Penn State. I have always done well with girls and even better with groups of girls (<3 my high school sports teams). I would say I had good friends last year but not best friends. I sort of thought about rushing last year and then I really wanted to do it over the summer. And tah dah! Right now I'm going through recruitment and I'd like to share my story! Penn State has 19 sororities and the process this year lasts about a week and a half. I will be posting a day or two behind.
A little background of Penn State; at Penn State, Greek life is big (over 40 frats, business and other major frats, honor orgs and cultural orgs), but it's not the be-all end-all for a social life. There are some sororities that are very competitive and intense and there are others that are more chill. You oftentimes hear of a girl that said she didn't feel like a typical sorority girl (which is what I feel about myself), but she still loves hers. Although the process is very long, I definitely think the pros of having 19 sororities on campus outweigh the cons.
I know there are a lot of Disney-themed, but I'm still doing it anyway! Plus I couldn't think of other things that had 19 categories haha.
So
at our campus we have:
Alice in Wonderland
Peter Pan
The Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
Aladdin
The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Lion King
Toy Story
Hercules
Mulan
Tarzan
The Emperor's New Groove
Monster's Inc.
Lilo & Stitch
Finding Nemo
The Incredibles
Enchanted
Tangled
Wreck-It Ralph
Our recruitment has three days of open houses, two days of first rounds, two days of second rounds, pref night, and bid day.
One thing that's hard for me is already knowing some stereotypes since I'm a sophomore. I am trying to keep an open mind as I go through this experience!
Thanks in advance for reading and hope you enjoy!
