Advice for a Successful Recruitment

Temperatures are HOT!

Don’t underestimate the heat when planning your outfits. Your makeup is going to melt off, so put it on conservatively and bring a powder case. Don’t wear too much body lotion; it will only make you perspire more. Coffee filters work wonders! They absorb without leaving pieces on you like tissues do. They’ll be provided on the row for you to use.

This is YOUR experience.

Fraternity recruitment begins the week of sorority recruitment. If you happen to get acknowledged by a fraternity man on the row, try your best to go about your business. Please find a Gamma Chi or Exec member if you become uncomfortable in a situation.

Avoid any dangerous situations by using the buddy system on campus. Don’t walk alone, especially at night. Sorority row has additional security officers at night, but don’t underestimate danger. Always be aware of your surroundings. It is usually hard to find a parking place on campus, so be sure to plan accordingly.

Timeliness is important.

Be on time, 10 minutes early if possible. It is so crucial to attend your events on time. If you miss an event without a legitimate excuse, you will be dismissed from recruitment. Even with an excuse, you are missing out on opportunities to meet sorority women and other girls who are participating in recruitment. It is up to the sorority to give a potential member a courtesy invitation when they have missed the chance to get to know them better. Traffic, parking trouble, and illness without a doctor’s note are not legitimate excuses.
