- You register for formal recruitment, super excited to find your new sorority.
- Then you stalk every sorority on Instagram.
- You get your first email for the dates and times for recruitment.
- Hours and hours on Pinterest finally result in three outfits you’re happy with.
- Then the first day of recruitment arrives.
- And your outfit is no longer good enough.
- So you change it. Four times.
- Hair and makeup.
- Then you’re almost late. So you run.
- GPA check is a breeze.
- Are there really 100 girls here…?
- The Rho Gammas introduce themselves and everyone is excited.
- You enter the first room and love the sorority.
- You enter the second room and love them too. And the third, leaving you with much to think about before day two.
- The sororities all share their philanthropic causes and you fall even more in love.
- Your face hurts from all the smiling.
- The next morning you nervously pick up your pref letter.
- Crying. Lots of it. Each sorority shows you what it means to be a sister.
- Filling out your preferences feels more important than picking a college.
- Waiting to find out which bid you received…
- Bid night arrives and you finally get the envelope with the name of your new home inside.
- When the Rho Gammas say so, you finally rip open that envelope.
- More crying.
- You run from your room down to your new sisters waiting below, all with open arms.
