Recruitment is definitely an experience, but a great one. Here are five things I wish I knew before I joined the Greek life community.
Express Your Own Style
During every round of recruitment, you will be asked to dress with professionalism and it becomes fancier every day you're there. It is extremely important to feel comfortable in what you are wearing. The right sorority will accept you no matter the style you present, but make sure it fits within the professional guidelines.
Keep An Open Mind
Some sororities may surprise you in all that they have to offer. It is perfectly fine to not know anything about greek life beforehand... it can even make the process more fun! Pay attention to the bigger picture... if you feel comfortable and happy, that is the place for you.
It Is OK To Be Hesitant
Decisions about which houses to cut on your list can be extremely difficult. You may love different people from each sorority but realize that certain houses as a whole are not for you. They won't hate you afterward, they'll likely still want you in their life.
You Will Become Great In Interviews
After many rounds of conversations and answering questions, you will likely get better in your interview skills. It will truly show you what you value most in your life and you will become even more confident in who you are. Even if you are not loving a house you're talking to, still, maintain a positive attitude and realize it is just more interview practice.
Take Care Of Yourself
This can be an extremely stressful time and can hurt your body if you're not careful. Making sure you obtain enough sleep, eating healthy and resting your voice when you can all help in preventing illness and negativity. Talking to your group leaders can also help with anxiety or unhappy emotions.
