The Ultimate Guide to Sorority Recruitment

As women prepare for sorority recruitment, many start by looking at their college’s Panhellenic website. They scroll through the different pages looking for advice and a step-by-step plan. With each page, they learn some requirements and leave with more questions.“It says recommendation letters are optional. Do I need recommendation letters?”“How do I stand out?”“What are members looking for in a new member?”“What questions will the members ask me?”Next, they turn to YouTube, TikTok, and Google to get advice and answers. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but ADVICE WILL NOT GET YOU A BID. Often, the advice women get is outdated, irrelevant, or too general. When you use advice for sorority recruitment, it is like asking a friend, not in your math class, “How do I get an A+ on my test?” Your friend says, “You need to study.” This answer leaves you frustrated, thinking, “What do I need to study? Do I need to go over the practice problems? Should I re-read my notes or focus on the study guide?”If you asked your teacher, “How do I get an A+ on my test?” She would give you a step-by-step plan.#1. Come to class and listen.#2. Ask questions when we are doing practice problems.#3. Each night spend 5 minutes reviewing the practice problems.#4. Fill out the study guide. It will be very similar to the test.To get an A+, you need to talk to the right person. You need to know the right information and have a plan.
