From Car to Closet 

Hello Lovely,

Get ready because moving into your sorority house is going to be the most exciting—and possibly the most exhausting—day ever! But don’t worry, with a little prep and the right mindset, you’ll be all set to make it as smooth and fun as possible. I’ve been there, done that, and survived moving into a 3rd-floor room all by myself in the blazing LA heat, so trust me when I say—preparation is key! Here are some of my top tips and tricks for mastering the art of sorority house move-in day!

Tip #1: Wear Comfortable Clothing! 

Fashion is everything, but on move-in day, comfort is queen! You’ll be making tons of trips back and forth from your car to your room, so choose an outfit that’s comfy and breathable. Bonus points if it’s in a darker shade to hide those inevitable sweat marks. Think cute but practical—maybe a pair of your fav denim shorts and a comfortable top with some comfy shoes. You’ve got this!

Tip #2: Keep Your Clothes on the Hangers!

Here’s a hack that will save you tons of time and energy: instead of taking all your clothes off the hangers and packing them, keep them on the hangers and simply cover them with a trash bag. This way, your clothes are contained, easy to transport, and a breeze to hang up once you’re in your new room. Efficiency is key, babe!

Tip #3: Make a List!

You know how hectic moving can be, so lists are your new best friend. Create a checklist of everything you need to pack to ensure nothing gets left behind. Also, make a separate shopping list for any last-minute essentials like command strips, cleaning supplies, power strips, and all those little things you might forget. Staying organized will keep your stress levels down and make the whole process way easier.

Tip #4: Make a System!

Moving in can be super overwhelming, so it’s important to have a game plan. Figure out what works best for you and stick to it! Whether you start by building furniture or tackling smaller tasks like hanging clothes in the closet, having a system will help you feel in control. Remember, it’s your space, so take your time and make it just right. You’ve got this, girl!

Tip #5: Plan Ahead!

To make your room feel like your room, plan ahead! Sketch out how you want your space to look and feel—this will help you create a vibe that’s totally you. And don’t forget to think about the practical stuff, too! Plan how you’re going to organize your closet and dresser, especially if space is tight. Visualize where everything will go, from your socks to your sundresses. When everything has its place, you’ll feel right at home!

With these tips in your back pocket, you’re ready to conquer move-in day like the queen you are! Get excited, because this is just the beginning of an amazing chapter in your sorority life.
