Hey guys! I recently went through formal recruitment at my university as a transfer student (I’m a sophomore). No one in my family has ever gone Greek, so I was excited to start a new tradition!
My school is fairly small – we only have four NPC sororities; however, there is a fifth chapter that is colonizing this year. I didn’t end up going that route, but I’m so excited to see how they do this year!
Of course, I knew that I was supposed to go in with an open mind (you guys drilled that into my head!), but because there are only four sororities, I definitely heard rumors and stereotypes about each chapter before I went through. That being said, I honestly believe that I did well at keeping an open mind at each party. I wanted to make this a good experience!
I recently went to Disney World, so each sorority will be named after a “land” in the Magic Kingdom! This has probably been done, but I’m so not creative!
Fantasyland
Frontierland
Adventureland
Tomorrowland
We went to orientation the first night to “meet” all of the chapters (aka watch their presentation).
Fantasyland – Fantasyland is the newest sorority on campus (other than the chapter that is colonizing). I get the vibe that they’re still trying to establish themselves on campus. I haven’t heard too much about them, but the girls who gave their presentation seemed funny and nice. I don’t know anyone in this sorority and I did not get a rec letter. (Side note: Rec letters aren’t required at my school and most girls don’t get any.)
Frontierland – I’ve heard a LOT about this sorority… but like I said, I am determined to keep an open mind! They showed a really cute video and most of the girls I heard were already saying they wanted Frontierland. This annoyed me because parties hadn’t even started yet! I don’t know anyone in this chapter but I did get a rec letter.
Adventureland– I have only heard good things about this house; everyone seems to love them! A friend of mine going through recruitment was determined to be an Adventurelandite! I have classes with some girls from Adventureland and they seem so smart and nice. I have one friend in this sorority and I did not get a rec letter.
Tomorrowland – I have heard a little about this sorority, but not much! I know of a couple girls in this sorority that seem to really love it! I have a class with some girls from Tomorrowland but they don’t talk much. Their presentation was okay, but not too memorable. I don’t know any of these girls personally and I did not get a rec letter.
Tomorrow is Sisterhood Night!
