As females, sisterhood is something that we look for our entire lives. And while we may have currently formed that bond with a sibling or buddy, coming to Villanova is about broadening that connection and finding a group of ladies that will support you through the low and high. Sorority recruitment at Villanova assists females form bonds, meet new people and establish communities.

At Villanova, the week before classes began once again the school came to life as hundreds of women returned to school early, all set to begin the sorority recruitment procedure. Over the years, the rush procedure gained a reputation for a plethora of reasons. However, as a freshman simply coming out of the recruitment process, not just has this experience given me a new neighborhood, however it has actually assisted me to find a brand-new sense of confidence I didn’t know I had.

Throughout the recruitment procedure, job one requires to be able to recognize what is right for them and where they see themselves fitting the very best. This requires every lady to show and consider the kinds of individuals they are aiming to surround themselves with during college. It is a crammed choice with a lot of pressure. However, making these choices throughout the procedure taught me a lot about myself.

I did not change myself to fit into a certain chapter or mold. I simply entered into each conference and was unapologetically myself, holding onto hope that my people would find me which I would find them. It wasn’t simple to be so open to a bunch of complete strangers, but at the exact same time it was so freeing. I knew that I provided the most authentic version of myself to each of the chapters, and I understood that anywhere I wound up, they would want me for me. Throughout my life, I have typically tried to place on a facade due to the fact that I just want to belong. It is to wish to be a part of something larger than oneself. This process enabled me to have that at Villanova.

«I constantly say being in a sorority makes school feel small, however in the finest method,» outbound Chi Omega recruitment chair Ava Tower stated. «There were so numerous familiar faces and individuals giving me self-confidence throughout the day to be the finest variation of myself. Greek life at Villanova has actually given me a genuine support group and I am so thankful for its connections and friendships.»

Even beyond simply the connections I have actually made within my brand-new sorority, getting to engage with numerous welcoming women from different chapters enhanced the Villanova sense of neighborhood. At the end of the day, every lady on campus during recruitment was experiencing the same thing or had been through the process before, with the very same feelings. These shared sensations offered me a sense of support that assisted me through the recruitment procedure.

Every lady had actually felt the same sensations as I had and having that sense of support and understanding entirely changed the recruitment procedure for me. I comprehend the apprehension that ladies feel before making the choice to rush due to the fact that I felt those very same sensations. However, rather of focusing on the possible negatives that might come out of the process, I decided to focus on the positives, and in turn I acquired a brand-new sense of self, in addition to dozens of new friends. In the end, rush wasn’t almost discovering a sisterhood. It was about discovering my true self, accepting my worth and realizing that the connections I was seeking were always implied to discover me, precisely as I am.
