Finding Your Place

Hello Lovely,

Let’s be real—the sorority recruitment process isn’t perfect. It can feel like a whirlwind of emotions, from excitement to overwhelming, and sometimes even disappointment. We all go into recruitment with high hopes, especially when a certain house catches our eye. But if things don’t pan out the way you imagined, it’s totally okay! Just remember, the universe has a way of putting us right where we need to be, even if it doesn’t feel like it at first.

So, if you’re not in the house you thought you’d be, don’t worry! Here’s how you can make the absolute best of your new sisterhood and thrive! 

Find Your People

You’ve only met a handful of girls during recruitment, so don’t base your entire opinion on just that first impression. And please, leave those stereotypes at the door! Every pledge class brings its own vibe, and trust me, you’re going to find your tribe. Give it a little time, mingle, and you’ll soon be surrounded by people who get you. It’s all about finding those sisters who make you feel like you’re right where you belong. 

Embrace Panhel Love 

Joining a sorority isn’t just about your specific house—it’s about becoming part of the entire Greek life family! The connections don’t stop at your sorority’s doorstep. With mixers, philanthropy events, and all the fun stuff, you’re going to meet amazing people from all over. For example, my two besties and I ended up in different sororities, and at first, I was worried we’d drift apart. But honestly? It made our bond even stronger! We’d plan dinners together, taking turns at each of our houses, and made sure to stay close. So, while you’ll make tons of new friends, your friendships with girls in other houses will still be going strong.

Take a Breather 

Recruitment can be exhausting! If things didn’t go exactly as you planned, it’s important to take some “me time” to recharge. Whether it’s a cozy night in bed with your favorite snacks, a refreshing hot girl walk, or indulging in a little retail therapy (and who can resist that?), make sure to pamper yourself. You deserve it, babe!

 And if shopping is your jam, I’ve got you covered with a few starting points to kick off your retail therapy spree!

You’ve got this! No matter where you end up, remember that your sorority journey is what you make of it. Embrace the sisterhood, spread the love, and know that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
