How can I prepare for Sorority Recruitment?

An excellent first step for preparation is to be 100% sure you’re ready to rush and be in a sorority. Sororities can be a big commitment for some people.

One super important thing to do is block your calendar; it’s an all-in commitment for these 2 (ish) weeks.

Have a bag ready for recruitment! You’ll be there for long hours, and having the necessities is essential.

Some things you may want to keep in your bag: 

• -WATER!!!
  • -You’ll be talking A LOT and smiling A LOT, and you’ll need water when you’re done rounds.
  • -A snack or two will be good for in-between rounds.
• -Hairbrush, chapstick, makeup- just for some touch-ups
• -A jacket, etc.
  • -It may be cold within rounds- this, of course, depends on when you’re rushing (1st/2nd semester)
• -An umbrella or raincoat!
  • -If you’re walking to recruitment, you never know the weather when you return to your dorm.

There are so many things to fit in your bag that are specific to you! If you need more guidance, ask your fellow PNMs or consult with your recruitment counselor, as they’ve been in your shoes once before!
