Pelican Fly

I have a midterm tomorrow for my World Lit 2 class. Instead of studying, I spent 11:30 am til 4:30ish pm doing Kappa recruitment stuff, helping out my sisters Kelsey & Jordan. Let me tell you, I AM SO BUMMED I WILL NOT BE AT RECRUITMENT THIS FALL!!!

It is going to be so fun, so cool, and there are so many awesome things going on. I basically sent emails today & opened recommendations. I'm sworn to secrecy on some things, which I am totally a-okay with keeping.

For those of you who don't know, going to recruitment at Auburn is extremely stressful. There are 17 sororities. You meet all sororities in the first two days, they're called Ice Water Tea days. There's a specific type of dress that you need to wear, a sundress... not a church dress, not a party dress, a sun dress. And then there's the stressful mutual selection process, where the girls going through recruitment choose their top sororities they meet each round of parties (there are 4 rounds) and eventually, hopefully, you find one that you like. You go from 17 parties the first day to a maximum of 3 on the last day (preference day). Then Bid Day is next!

For the girls in the sororities, it's super stressful also. You're charged with meeting a thousand girls & trying to decide if she'll fit into your sorority... ahh. You scream, you yell, you lose your voice, and you have to remember a lot of stuff. I will NEVER EVER forget meeting Kristina Passi during recruitment on Ice Water Tea day... (she's a Kappa now!) We discussed baseball.... and how baseball players hit each other on the butt sometimes when they've done something good. And how other sports players do the same thing... We think it's weird. Even though that was two years ago, it is a memory that sticks with me and with her, and we have a special bond because of that (hi Passi if you're reading this!!)

This video is one made by Baylor University for their recruitment. It defines my life, I love Kappa, I love my sisters, and I AM Kappa obsessed... I can't think of anywhere else I would rather be.


Back to studying? Must I?
