It’s that time of year again! Fall Formal Recruitment 2013 in here! (#UIFFR13<\/a> on twitter!) It’s definitely a super hectic 2 weeks for active sorority members and new members alike! Meeting hundreds of women in less than 2 weeks time may seem intimidating, but it’s exciting and well worth it!<\/p>\n

I often write about greek life, and other greek related events, but for the sake of my blog I like to keep what chapter I’m a member of private. I love my house, but I pride myself on trying to be non-biased when it comes to the greek community as a whole.<\/p>\n

Many active sorority women tend to dread recruitment. Not because they dislike meeting new people, but because it’s an extremely exhausting process. You get up early in the morning, and are crazy busy until almost midnight every night. I know I personally have not slept more than 5 hours straight in over 4 days, but that’s because I’m also a member of the marching band and I have other commitments with that which only makes recruitment crazier.<\/p>\n

I personally love recruitment. It’s so exciting seeing all the ladies who could soon become my sisters, and I may not know them now but in a very short time we will all grow to know one another!<\/p>\n

I often get asked “Why did you join a sorority?” Some people are just naturally curious, and others don’t really respect the greek community. But regardless of what people think, I love my sorority and do not regret joining. There are\u00a0infinite<\/em> reasons a young woman would join a sorority, and they are different for every girl. So because of that fact, I’m not even going to try to list of the reasons I join.<\/p>\n

I’m actually in the middle of recruitment while writing this blog, so I need to get back down to business! I’ll write another post when recruitment is over!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
