When Warner breaks up with Elle, she is devastated. She wants to win him back. She does not knock on his door and beg him. She creates a plan of action with the end goal of getting into Harvard.

How does she get into Harvard?

First, she talks to her college advisor and gets advice. Next, she creates a step-by-step plan to get accepted.

#1. Study for the LSAT

#2. Take the LSAT

#3. Draft her resume

#4. Make her application video

#5. Apply

The main takeaway is she does not wing her application. She created a plan and used it to get into Harvard. The same idea applies to sorority recruitment. You cannot show up at Round 1 and expect everything to work out. A step-by-step plan helps you stand out during sorority recruitment. When you stand out, you gain Rush Crush status and get invited back to the sororities you like.

Yes! I want to find my best fits!

HOW TO CREATE YOUR LIST

STEP 1. Visualize your dream college experience

Before you make your list, you want to visualize your dream college experience.

Why is this exercise important?

When you envision your dream life, you make it happen. Your dream turns into a goal. You can then break this goal down into steps, and soon it becomes your reality.

Think of it this way. LeBron James did not wake up on his 18th birthday and try out for the NBA. For him, joining the NBA was a dream. He started playing basketball when he was nine years old. It was not a random accomplishment when James joined the Cavaliers in 2003. He deserved it.

Here is how this idea relates to sorority recruitment. Your dream college experience will help you know what qualities you want in your dream sorority. Then, when you go through sorority recruitment, you know how to answer the questions, what questions to ask, and know you are making the right decisions. These things will guide you to getting a bid to your dream sorority.

Exercise. Write a “future me” letter

A study by Statistic Brain state that only 8% achieve their New Year’s resolutions.

Why do many not achieve their New Year’s resolutions?

When creating resolutions, many say, “I want to lose weight.” or “I want to travel more.” Setting this type of resolution sets you up for failure.

Why does it set you up for failure?

Problem #1. Too general

How much weight do you want to lose?

Where do you want to travel?

This specific information is essential.

Problem #2. It does not share why it is important to you.

You will never follow through with goals if you do not understand the importance of the goal.

Example. If your goal is to travel more, maybe you want to take your daughter to Disney World. You want to see her eyes light up when she meets Cinderella for the first time. You want to watch her get excited to stand in line for It’s a Small World. You want to see her run around the gift shop. Most importantly, you want to have the pictures to remember these moments for the rest of your life.

When you make dinner after work, it does not seem like a chore. Take-out might sound good, but that $150 gets you closer to the end goal, watching your daughter run around Disney World.

Problem #3. You do not have the plan to implement your goal.

After you know why the goal is essential, you create a plan to reach it. For taking your daughter to Disney World, when do you want to go? How much do you need to save per month?

Now, it is your turn. You want to write a letter to your future self. Imagine you graduated from college and are reflecting on all you have accomplished.

Why is it important to start at the end?

If you know what you want to accomplish throughout college, you will work towards making these moments your reality.

When writing your letter, you want to get specific with your visualization. Instead of saying, “I created an incredible friend group”, you want to say, “Today, I have five amazing women in my life. We have lived together for the past three years….” This exercise might feel like you are writing a fictional story because you have not lived out the moments YET.

STEP 2. Define your why

To find your why, answer “Why are you going through sorority recruitment?”

You should be able to pull your answer from your letter. Your answer should have a clear intention.

STEP 3. Three qualities you want in a sorority

These qualities are must-haves in your dream sorority. They are there to guide you throughout sorority recruitment– figure out what questions to ask, help you make real connections with the members, and help you find your dream sorority.

STEP 4. Is the experience you want similar to the experience you had in high school?

Look again at your future me letter and qualities. Is it aligned with your high school and, or college experience? Is it an experience that is different from high school and will push you outside of your comfort zone?

If you want an experience different from your high school experience, that is amazing! You can achieve it! With sorority recruitment, the members recruit potential new members who are similar to the current members – they look similar, act similar, have similar beliefs and experiences, etc.

Are you similar to the current members of the sororities you want to join or on your campus?

Look at all of the sororities’ Instagram accounts. Do you look like them? Do the members look like your friends? Do they look like they have similar experiences and interests to you?

If the answer is “no”, you either want to re-evaluate what you want out of a sorority, or you have to push yourself to grow. For example, many women want to join the most popular and social sororities on campus. I completely understand why. You want to be liked and accepted. If you are different than them and do not have similar interests and experiences to them, the members will not connect to you or see you in a sorority. Most likely, you will not be invited back. Other sororities on campus will give you the experience you want! All sororities have a philanthropy, great members, incredible friendships, and social events.

If you want to be invited back to sororities that will push you outside of your comfort zone, how will you push yourself to grow? Conversation skills? Mindset? Buy new clothing? Change your Instagram feed?

STEP 5. Create your plans to gain name recognition, unlock your potential, and stand out in your conversations

A Harvard study that analyzes how goals and a plan influence salaries in ten years. In the study, only 3% of the MBA students wrote salary goals and created a plan to achieve their goals.

Did the student who created a plan make more money than the other students?

YES! These students made TEN TIMES more money than the other students.

Creating your list is step #1 to receiving a bid to your dream sorority. You have to do the work. You have to create your plans and implement them. You have to believe in yourself.
