Recruitment Tips
WHEN CHOOSING A Sorority, THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. JOINING A SORORITY IS NOT MERELY A COMMITMENT FOR YOUR COLLEGE YEARS, BUT A LIFELONG COMMITMENT. SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND AND CONSIDER ARE: What to Bring? Comfort Do you feel comfortable with the women in the sorority? These are women you will be spending lots of time with, so you want to be comfortable with them. You should be able to imagine yourself hanging out with at least a few members outside of sorority activities.
Friends
Avoid choosing a sorority just because your friend likes it. If you and your friends all end up in different sororities, you will remain friends. In our sorority community, we make it a point to have friends in other organizations. You and your friend may have a lot in common, but the decision ultimately must be for you in order for you to be happy with it.
Common Goals
You’ll be spending a lot of time with your sorority sisters and it’s important to carefully consider whether the organization correlates with your lifestyle, social preferences, academic goals, and values.
Shared Values
When choosing a sorority make sure you think about what their values are and if these match yours. This will help you connect with the sorority and feel that you have made the right choice.

During some nights of recruitment you will have free time when you are waiting between events. Since recruitment takes place during the semester, many women bring homework with them. While you are in an event, you will not be permitted to bring anything with you. This being said, we advise you to pack light. If you bring a purse, cell phone, etc. they will be safely guarded by your recruitment counselor and the recruitment staff. Ultimately we are NOT responsible for any stoles/lost items. You can bring a good book or magazine to read during your break between events. Your recruitment counselor will also have activities prepared for you as well. Phones and any electronic items are strongly suggested to be kept at home. You will not be allowed to have those on you at any times.
