My Friendtastic Recruitment

[UNLVBunny]

So Wednesday and Thursday were orientation days for the recruitment process. Each girl only had to attend one of the days. It was basically an information session about how each day was going to go, what to wear, what not to wear, etc. It was also when we met our Rho Gammas and our recruitment groups. Overall it was pretty exciting just to know that recruitment is finally here.

Today was day one of recruitment. I am tired. I don't know how you girls do it, especially at bigger schools where there are so many more sororities. By the end they all start to blend together. I don't know how the sororities do it either. Meeting nearly 400 girls in one night and then trying to narrow them down. That really must be exhausting.

I also quickly realized it is nearly impossible to avoid tent talk. I was surprised about how vocal people were about what sorority they wanted and even more so about which ones they did not. Several girls are dead set on one sorority and have already said they will drop if they don't get them. It's kind of crazy actually, but either way I am trying my very hardest not to be influenced by other people's opinions.

Time to get some rest but I will update tomorrow or Sunday with an actual account of the day.

Yes, UNLVbunny, it is. It's exhausting in more ways than you can imagine. There is extensive preparation that goes into recruitment, starting in the spring and carrying through the summer; the actual days of recruitment are very long and emotionally intense for the actives. But - it's worth it. Or else we wouldn't do it.

And please, please, please - let the tent talk go. Be your own person, keep an open mind, and you will find your home. You have excellent chapters at UNLV. The experience lasts a lifetime, not just the (relatively) short time you're actually in college as an "active". And if you're lucky, you'll have friends in every GLO, not just your own. *banging the panhellenic drum again*

Hope you got some rest, sending you lots of luck and positive energy.
