One of my favorite parts of recruitment is the house tour portion. PNM’s are given tours of the sorority houses that they have been invited to that day and they are shown the ins and outs of the chapter. Some things that many chapters do on this day is show off the different celebrities who were once active members of their national organizations.
It’s cool to think about the different men and women that are doing or have done great things and that one of the first big things that these people were involved in was Greek life. Some of them were even members here at OSU. (Go Pokes!)
