Rule #2: Don't Be Afraid To Eat

Today we are going to discuss a big thing that I believe girls are afraid to do in front of sororites. Please do not be afraid to eat. I believe that in todays culture we think that if we take a cookie we are going to be ridiculed for that.
Well girls, I am here to tell you that that is a HUGE lie. We like when you take our food. Being in a sorority is more than just rituals, its about hanging out together. When we all hang out together we eat. A lot. So if a chapter offers you a cookie, go ahead and take that cookie. You will not be judged or ridiculed. We know you are starving. We are starving, so you have to be as well. Recruitment is exhausting and it makes you very hungry. So keep this in mind. If you truly don't want to eat, thats fine too. Just don't be afraid.

Rule #1: Stay Calm

Sorority Recruitment. Its one of the most fun and stressful times of the year. Lets start with why it is stressful. Not only is sorority recruitment stressful for the active members but it is very stressful for all of you who will be going through recruitment. Why is it stressful you might ask. Its stressful because every night(or day) you talk to multiple girls from each sorority but at the end you have to eliminate a sorority from your list. This process can be diffucult because sometimes you might feel a connection to each sorority. But thats okay. This elimination process helps you. It helps you find the place where you are supposed to spend the rest of your college years.


The stress however goes into the fun part of recruitment. At the end of the process you get to be welcomed "home" by a group of girls to call you sisters. This part is awesome. Its hard to describe the feeling, but running home to these girls out weighs all the stress that you endured during recruitment process.

Try to stay calm. Don't get overwhelmed. Like I always say, you will know where you are supposed to end up. You dont chose your sorority it chooses you. Have fun and stay positive.
