Why You Should Do Spring Recruitment

(image source)

So you have survived the first semester or two quarters of college and you can't help but feel a little left out in the social scene. Every day on campus you see groups of girls wearing their letters on cute tees and they look like they're the ultimate besties. You want in but you're just not sure if the "sorority thing" is for you.

Does the above scenario sound like you or someone you know? Well, stop second guessing yourself. Spring Recruitment could quite possibly be the best college decision you make. Here is why:

1. It's never too late to make new friends. New sisters? EVEN BETTER!
2. Spring Recruitment is usually less stressful than the first recruitment earlier in the school year because it's less girls going through.
3. With the whole rest of the school year ahead, there is still time to participate in the fun, warmer activities in the spring like philanthropies and date parties. 
4. Sick of your dorm room? Find a new place to stay in your sorority house once you complete spring recruitment and get initiated.
5. You will join just in time to be able to be on the other end of it all as you prepare in the summer to welcome even more sisters with recruitment! Participating in recruitment is the best and most rewarding sorority experience. You could even qualify to be a Recruitment Counselor!
6. You finally get to wear your letters on a cute tee ;-)

Good luck with Spring Recruitment and if you have any questions, leave us a comment below!

Get LIT!

If you follow Beyonce's stylist, @Tytryone or Kim Kardashian, then you have probably been hearing the term "TYLITE" or "LIT". Well, it's probably not what you think! Your selfie game is about to be changed with these amazing new products that light up your phone to provide you with the best lighting for the perfect selfie. Hilary Clinton got to try it out and she was obsessed! One is called "Ty-Lite" and the other is made by Lumee. Each are cases that you put on your phone that light up, basically. When it comes to the Lumee, we love how you can adjust the lighting to make it dim. For both the Ty-Lite and Lumee case, we also love how it protects your phone much like any other phone case.

Get your hands on one of those bad boys and send us a selfie with the hashtag #TSSLIT for a possible Instagram feature!

New Year's Resolution 101

Deciding on your New Years resolution is a really big deal.  It might not seem like it, but if you really think about it, it's a commitment you're making for a whole year and you want to make sure that you're going to stick to it!  That's why we've decided to create a little 101 guide line for you guys when it comes to coming up with your New Years resolution for 2016!

1. Pick a resolution that really excites you!
You want to make sure that your end goal is something you're really looking forward to, so pick something that you really want and makes you giddy about it.  It's always a great idea to pick something that benefits you.

2. Build a troop

The biggest challenge is sticking with it!  That's 365 days that you have to keep up with your New Year's resolution, so it’s always nice to have a troop with you trying to accomplish the same resolution.  Be each other’s constant reminder to accomplishing your goal!

3. Create a master plan
Rather than just a mental note for your plan, actually make a master plan for the entire year on how you’re going to accomplish it the entire year. It always helps to write it down whether it’s a work out routine or what.



4. Be Realistic
Whether you’re creating your master plan or it’s your actual resolution, always remember to be realistic about it. Again, it’s a challenge so give yourself a little breather, don’t be too hard on yourself.



5. Keep your end goal in mind
Always keep your end goal in mind and try to create reminders all over the place to keep you going!



6. Don’t forget to reward yourself!
If/once you’ve accomplished your New Year’s resolution, REWARD YOURSELF!! You should be proud of it and you should always reward yourself. How you’re going to reward yourself once you’ve completed it is also a great motivator when deciding on a New Year’s resolution!

Happy New Year's, friends!  Thank you for a wonderful year!
