Hello and welcome! My name is Carley Trudel, and I have the privilege of serving as Theta Mu’s Recruitment Chair for 2025.

When I first arrived at WPI, I didn’t anticipate joining a sorority. I felt I would be out-of-place due to the content I saw online and that Greek life at WPI would be the same as everywhere else. But after attending the Greek carnival, my perspective changed. I learned that each sorority on campus, at its core, is a supportive community of women who are always there to support each other. It was this that led me to sign up for formal recruitment.

Going into recruitment, I had no idea what to expect. I wasn’t sure what the process would be like or if I would find a place where I truly belonged. But I kept an open mind, which I encourage you to do as well.

The moment I stepped into Chi Omega, I felt at ease. My conversations flowed effortlessly, each one filled with a genuine connection. Every sister I met was just as engaged as the last, making me feel like I was already part of something special. They welcomed me as a friend, allowing me to be my true, authentic self. I felt completely seen, valued, and at home.

Joining Chi Omega has been the most meaningful decision of my college experience. It has introduced me to so many incredible women whose kindness, loyalty, and individuality inspire me daily. They are always there to support me, no matter the circumstances, and they continue to help me grow. I am endlessly grateful for the lifelong friendships this sisterhood has given me, and I truly can’t imagine college without it.

As you go through recruitment, my biggest piece of advice is to follow your heart. Reflect on each conversation with the mindset of finding people who make you feel seen, heard, and appreciated. The people make the place, so find the home you’ll love forever. You are so deserving of a sisterhood that embraces you for you, and I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you!

LICO,

Carley
