It's Recruitment Season

One of the first things I eagerly share about myself is that I’m in a sorority. I’m proud to wear my letters and to help my fellow Greeks prove the stereotypes wrong. This week just so happens to be the most important week for all sororities on campus. It’s Recruitment Week.

I’ve been through recruitment three times now. Once as a freshman when I decided I wanted to join a sorority, and twice on the other side, welcoming new women into our sisterhood. Recruitment is a whirlwind. Day after day of parties, mingling, and trying to find women who fit our organization. It’s a stressful time, but also an amazing experience to partake in from either side.

I’ve realized over the years that it’s hard to explain Greek life. From the outside it doesn’t make sense, but on the inside you couldn’t imagine a life without your sisters (or brothers). You get so much out of being Greek. You get a family, you get to help the community, you get to become a better person.

Greek life is definitely not for everyone, but it’s a decision I would make time and time again if given the opportunity. I wouldn’t be who I am today without the women in my organization and the knowledge I’ve gained from them.

Happy Recruitment Week! Go Greek!
