Greek Update

Thanks Gina for the comment :)
I did, in fact, finish my application and paid the fee... recruitment is official!

I'm excited to be surrounded with other ladies who have big plans in life and aim to be successful. If there has been anything that I've learned over the years it is to surround yourself with like-minded people. Those who are unmotivated with neither ambition nor plans will more-often-than-not bring you down in more ways than one. By going through recruitment I hope to find a sisterhood that keeps me aiming high even when I find myself tired and drained.

The organizations are, w/(nicknames):
AΔπ - Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi)
AOπ -Alpha Omicron Pi (Alpha O)
ΓΦB - Gamma Phi Beta (Gamma Phi)
XΩ - Chi Omega (Chi-O)
ΔΔΔ - Delta Delta Delta (Tri Delta)
ΔΓ - Delta Gamma (Dee-Gee)
KΔ - Kappa Delta (Kay-Dee)
ΣΔT - Sigma Delta Tau (Sig Delt)
ZTA - Zeta Tau Alpha (Zeta)

They gave me a book explaining recruitment, so here are the events that are scheduled (some is transcribed verbatim, with credit to USF Panhellenic) :

-Friday, 8/31: Orientation Night @ 7pm. Mandatory orientation; meet Pi Chi's (recruitment counselors) and the Panhellenic Executive Board; answer all questions and distribute final schedules for the week of recruitment.

There is other useful information in the booklet they provided, such as "What to Talk About" during each day of recruitment.
Suggestions like: Why did you join a sorority, and what is your favorite part? What are some requirements for your chapter? What is your best memory with your sorority? What other types of events do you participate in, and which are your favorites? Ask about social, time, and financial commitments... Open up towards the end to those you felt a stronger connection to...
