Spring Formal Recruitment!

Recruitment for Kappa Alpha Theta – Delta Iota chapter has officially started! There are about 190 girls going through recruitment, some of the highest numbers in recent years. I had a conversation with a girl who is a Freshman vocal performance major who is in choir and we hit it off. I really hope she joins Theta because she was a great conversationalist and really nice girl.

Here’s what I have to say about college and Greek life. Greek life has opened so many doors for me as far as friendships, service opportunities, social events, and networking opportunities. I don’t just have friends, I have sisters, women I can relate to on a deep level as far as values, interests, and ideals. While you are college, I strongly encourage you to go through recruitment. Boy or girl, it doesn’t matter. I know men in the fraternities here on campus who wouldn’t have it any other way and women who would be lost souls on campus without their sisters. For me, it’s something to look forward to. I get the opportunity to have someone to talk to, someone to comfort, and someone to comfort me. I am a sorority member and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Revamp

It’s time to revamp this blog, breathe new life into it. I originally started writing it as both a way for family and friends to know what I was doing at school and so teens/young adults getting ready to or already in college could use it as a way to get tips from a girl on the inside. However recently I’ve been slacking as far as posting timely blogs and giving out tips. So I’m going to change starting right now.

It’s finally 2012! I’ve been home for winter break and I go back on January 11th to get ready for Theta’s recruitment. I’m so excited for the new year, a year that’s going to be full of possibilities and opportunities. My grades were posted online today (not publicly) and I have to say I was a little surprised by a couple of them so I emailed the professors to find out the breakdown of the grade. I’ve gotten a response already which was nice, even if the grades weren’t changed. So this my newest tip: Ask about a grade if you’re not happy about it. Even if it doesn’t get changed, you’ll know how you got it and why it is the way it is. It may not always be what you want, but it may give you peace of mind about it.
