My Happy Recruitment Story!

[theGOODDDlife]

Hallmate #1 ended up going Sex and the City as well! We were so excited when we saw eachother on bid day. it was crazzzzzy.

Roommate and Hallmate #2 both went Law and Order, which they both ended up LOVING and it all worked out. Other girls on our hall went Psych,Friends ,The O.C., Mad Men, Lost, and Bones! almost everyone in our building ended up going greek that year and we took a huge picture of everyone in letters after we were all initiated. It all ended up working out and everyone loved their chapters.

Just a little bit of advice to girls who are going through rush (or a reflection for people who've already done it): Just trust in the process. It sounds so lame because thats what everyone says but honestly, just do it. The chapter women know a lot about the process, their chapter, and you than you realize. If you're trusting and calm and yourself the entire time you will end up where you were meant to. The only people i know who didn't like their chapter were ones who got to caught up in the rush politics to really understand what they wanted.

Also a note about after you finally join a chapter: you will most likely feel awkward/ overwhelmed. Its hard joining a new group with 150 girls you don't know. I only knew Hallmate #1 and i was definitely uncomfortable for a few weeks. Its still fun in that time, it just takes a little more work. Hang in there, as long as you put yourself out there and don't take yourself/ your chapter too seriously, you will become more comfortable and less overwhelmed. I remember being so scared when we were getting bigs because i barely knew any of the older girls! But again, just trust that your chapter will take care of you and it will work out. I ended up getting a girl i had never met before as my big. She and my grandbig are PERFECT for me. No idea how it worked out, but im glad it did. I guess a big thing i learned from this whole process is just to let the mystery take control, but not overwhelm you.

Thank you everyone for reading my story! Please feel free to message me if you have questions or anything. (I'd rather not reveal my school though, i'm sure some of you know already...)
