My First Blog Post

For my first post I’m going to talk about what it was like for me my first week here in Pullman. This was before school had even started actually I felt really thrown directly into a lot of stuff here. The day I moved into my dorm ws the day that rush started. Rush is the process of sorority and Greek life recruitment. It is every day from 6 am until 6 pm and it is absolutely emotionally, mentally and physically draining in every way. I think a lot of people hear the word sorority and think just a bunch of silly girls who want to party, but that really isn’t it. The recruitment process can feel very judgmental because rally what you are doing is getting up early to look your absolute best and then trying to sell your self as the best version of you that you can be for the 3 min convos you have with girls in every house.

After day 4 of the same convos it can start to feel like you are losing it a little, I’ll be honest in saying I wasn’t sure if it was worth it. But the most times you visit each house and you learn about their philanthropy you start to feel a sense of belonging there and the choice of where you want to spend the next 4 years becomes easy. Thats what they tell you will happen anyways. For me when it came to bid day, the night before when you have to choose between your top 2 houses where you want to find your home and sisters the choice was not easy. I had 2 houses that I was in love with and couldn’t decide between. Ultimately I chose the one that I saw my self finding my former friends in and now looking back I cannot possibly imagine my self anywhere else. They say to trust the process and now honestly I can say I agree. If you are thinking about joining a sorority I would say I 10/10 recommend it!
