Overheard On Yik Yak: Fraternity & Sorority Recruitment Edition

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, folks! Fraternity and sorority recruitment!

For two weeks, eager students attend recruitment events to determine which sorority or frat they fit in best with. Some people meet their future best friends and others quickly realize that Greek life is not for them. Either way, the commentary is hilarious and, well, sometimes mean.

Yik Yak, an anonymous location-based social media app, has been flooded with recruitment Yaks the past week as students navigate the world of Penn State Greek life.

Check out what’s been going on in the world of recruitment.
