So Much Preparation.

My sorority had Spring Recruitment a couple weeks ago. So much preparation goes into three days of recruitment parties. We had recruitment workshops, we had to buy specific outfits and go through an outfit check, and we had to learn how to act and treat our potential new members. I realized that preparing for recruitment was like learning how to handle yourself at a business party, or even what and what not to say in an interview. We were taught different strategies for making conversation, and what things to look for in the girls that will most benefit our organization.

We have already started our recruitment workshops for the fall. Everything about being in a sorority is preparing you for jobs after college. It also looks really good on Grad school applications, so that's a plus.

All in all I'm really happy about my decision to join and love all the wonderful girls I have met along the way.

Recruitment was long, hard and stressful but we wound up getting 12 new girls that I adore :)

Spring recruitment

It's weird being on the other side of recruitment this time. Last semester I was one of the girls hoping to get a bid from a certain sorority and now I'm in the position of giving the bids.

It was last Wednesday through Friday, each day was a different theme and we had to wear specific outfits. We got to talk to a bunch of potential new members and hopefully find out if each of the girls is compatible with our sorority.

We gave out bids last friday night and this week we have planned nights to get to know our new girls. :) I'm so excited!
