Have an open mind.
This sounds so cliche because everyone constantly says it because it's true. Try not to focus on one sorority the entire time, try to find a quality you like about each chapter. The house you might love could end up dropping you at the end of the day, so be open about the options you have. Even if there is a chapter you were unsure about, once you give them another chance you might end up loving them and realize it is a better fit for you than you thought.
Stay positive!
Recruitment is long and hard for both potential new members and recruiters. Girls lose their voices and walking in a dress and heels all day can start to get old. Focus on all of the awesome girls you are making connections with and get excited to find your forever home.
Get close with your Rho Gammas.
Rho Gammas are girls who disaffiliate from their sororities to help potential new members with their schedules, provide emotional support and help girls make tough decisions. They are here to help you, and they are all so sweet. Take advantage.
Don't take things too personally.
There are so many factors to consider when calling or not calling girls back to a chapter. Getting dropped is upsetting, especially if it is a house that has stuck with you for a while and you thought you had a great connection. The conversation could have not gone as planned or you just didn't click with one of the recruiters. Don't waste your time trying to come up with reasons why you were dropped. Just move on and focus on the houses that want you.
Choose a chapter where you can be yourself.
The most important part is ending up in a chapter where you feel comfortable to be yourself. You will be spending the rest of the college with these girls. You want to have fun and be able to grow great relationships with your sisters and be able to build an amazing support system.
You are a strong, beautiful woman no matter what.
Recruitment is an emotional roller-coaster for everyone involved. If you end up in a sorority or not, you are a beautiful young woman. A sorority does not define who you are. You do.
Joining a sorority is not for everyone, but you will never know until you try. Being in a sorority provides so many opportunities to make new friends, get involved on campus, find a group of mentors, job connections and being part of an amazing sisterhood.
