At Villanova, the week before classes began once again the school came to life as hundreds of to school early, ready to begin the sorority recruitment process. For many years, the rush process gained a reputation for a huge selection of reasons. However, as a freshman simply coming out of the recruitment procedure, not just has this experience offered me a new neighborhood, but it has assisted me to discover a new sense of confidence I didn't understand I had.

Throughout the recruitment process, one requires to be able to identify what is right for them and where they see themselves fitting the best. This requires every lady to show and consider the types of people they are seeking to surround themselves with during college. It is a loaded choice with a lot of pressure. However, making these choices throughout the process taught me a lot about myself.

I did not change myself to suit a particular chapter or mold. I simply entered into each meeting and was unapologetically myself, holding onto hope that my people would find me which I would discover them. It wasn't easy to be so open to a bunch of complete strangers, but at the exact same time it was so releasing. I understood that I provided the most genuine variation of myself to each of the chapters, and I understood that any place I wound up, they would desire me for me. Throughout my life, I have often tried to place on an exterior because I just want to belong. It is human nature to desire to belong of something bigger than oneself. This process permitted me to have that at Villanova.

"I constantly state remaining in a sorority makes school feel small, but in the very best way," outbound Chi Omega recruitment chair Ava Tower said. "There were so many familiar faces and people offering me self-confidence throughout the day to be the very best version of myself. Greek life at Villanova has actually offered me an unconditional assistance system and I am so glad for its connections and friendships."

Even beyond simply the connections I have made within my new sorority, getting to connect with a lot of welcoming females from numerous chapters strengthened the Villanova sense of neighborhood. At the end of the day, every female on school throughout recruitment was experiencing the very same thing or had actually been through the process before, with the exact same feelings. These shared feelings offered me a sense of support that assisted me through the recruitment procedure.

Every woman had actually felt the very same sensations as I had and having that sense of support and understanding entirely changed the recruitment process for me. I understand the apprehension that females feel before deciding to rush since I felt those exact same sensations. However, instead of concentrating on the possible negatives that might come out of the process, I chose to concentrate on the positives, and in turn I acquired a brand-new sense of self, together with dozens of new friends. In the end, rush wasn't simply about finding a sisterhood. It was about finding my real self, welcoming my worth and employment realizing that the connections I was seeking were constantly implied to find me, precisely as I am.
