It’s that time of year again. The leaves are changing, we’re balancing new classes, and the most stressful yet rewarding part of your semester is back; Formal Recruitment. As actives members, we know how important recruitment is and that it will result in extraordinary new sisters! But we also know the struggles. Those two weeks (or actually, the moment you step back onto campus) leading up to Bid Day are full of sleep deprivation, voice loss, cardio workouts in high heels, and fun times with your sisters.
