We have taken a difficult math test and wished we had an answer key. It can be hard to memorize all the formulas, concepts, and steps.

When you ask a woman to fill out a recommendation letter without a social resume, it feels like they are taking a difficult math test without the answer key. The recommendation letter asks specific questions about you — like you home address, GPA, involvement from high school, awards, etc. Many times the alumna does not know the answers. If she does not know the answers,

She may call you or email you constantly to figure them out.
She might guess and get it incorrect. Now, you talk to members who are very different than you. It is hard to connect when you have nothing in common. If you do not connect, you are most likely not going to be invited back.
It is too much work to contact you, so she never fills it out. At some colleges, a recommendation letter is necessary to be invited back to Round 2.

You want to make this process as easy as possible for the alumna. When you give her your social resume, you give her the answer key to what you want her to write about you. You give her all of the information she needs. You share what you want to talk about during sorority recruitment.

Additionally, your social resume will help you fill out your registration application. Depending on your college, you may need to upload a resume. The information you supply on your registration application will calculate your pre-score.

HOW TO BOOST YOUR PRE-SCORE WITH YOUR SOCIAL RESUME?

Before sorority recruitment starts, you will give each sorority a lot of information through your registration application, recommendation letters, etc. They use this information to give you a pre-score. This score is added onto your Round 1 score.

How are pre-scores calculated?

The Recruitment Team will decide on their standards to receive the best score. They will set standards for the:

Number of clubs, sports, jobs, or internships you need to hold
Number of awards to you need to receive
GPA you need to have
Number of community service projects you need to have
Number of years an activity needs to be help
Number of leadership positions you need to hold
The list goes on!

Here is an example of a sorority’s standards for best pre-score could look like.

To receive the best pre-score to ABC sorority, a potential new member will need to meet the following standards.

Have a GPA of 3.5 or higher
Have 3 or more clubs, jobs, sports, or internships
2 of the clubs, jobs, sports, or internships need to be held for 3 years or longer
Have 2 or more awards
Have over 50 community service hours
Have volunteered for 2 or more organizations
Hold at least one leadership position

Over the past FIVE years, we have watched clients go through sorority recruitment. After they complete sorority recruitment, we compare their schedules to their resumes. We have noticed patterns on what the sororities are looking for in their pre-score. We believe you should have this information. In The Ultimate Guide to Sorority Recruitment, we have given you that information to help you boost and get the best pre-score you can receive! You deserve to have options and run home to a sorority you love!

There are so many beautiful resumes on Etsy. Many of them are NOT designed by former sorority members. They do not understand the pre-score can be a make or break for some girls. If you are close to be dropped, your great pre-score can save you!

Yes! I want to find my best fits!

IS A SOCIAL RESUME THE SAME AS A JOB RESUME?

A social resume is similar to a job resume, but it is not the same.

The main point of a job resume is to show you are qualified for the job. You share your past work experiences and skills. This information helps the employer know if you are the right person for the job and stand out from the other candidates.

In sorority recruitment, you are not applying for a job. Your skills and past work experience do not get you a bid. The members look for friends, women who are involved, women who care about their academics, and women who are interested in joining their sorority.

The goal of the social resume is to make it easy for the woman to fill out your recommendation letter. Your recommendation letter allows the sorority to see if you are a good fit for the sorority and helps them know which members you should talk to during sorority recruitment. In your social resume, you want to share relevant information that allows the sorority to learn about you.

How can you use your social resume to stand out from the other potential new members?

Have you seen the movie Legally Blonde?

When Elle applies to Professor Callahan’s internship, she uses scented, pink paper to stand out from the other students.

Does it give her an advantage?

Most likely! We know she was the only student to use this type of paper. You want to apply the same idea to your social resume.

Do you need to use scented, pink paper?

Absolutely, not! Instead, you want to get ultra-specific on what you have accomplished over your four years in high school and, or college. You want to share the information that is important to you. That is how you stand out!

The colors you use on your social resume will NOT help you stand out. Imagine looking through 1,000 social resumes. Which social resume would you pick to stand out? The pink ones? The blue ones? They do not care what color your social resume is. They look at the information on it. They care if your values align with the members.

How do you make the process easy and give her all of the information she needs?

In The Ultimate Guide to Sorority Recruitment, you receive a step-by-step guide to create your social resume (what to include, how much to include, etc.), tips, and an example. This guide is based on reviewing recommendation letters for most of the Panhellenic sororities and watching hundreds of clients go through sorority recruitment. This way, you only have to write one social resume. You know you are giving each woman the correct information, and the process is easy!

Also, with this book, you know how to get recommendation letters, how to correctly prep for sorority recruitment, what questions the members are going to ask you, how to correctly answer their questions, and how sorority recruitment works.

You can stop Googling all of your questions. You have the answers!

WHAT DOES NOT MATTER ON YOUR RESUME?

The social resume templates are designed to look pretty. The color and design of your social resume will not get you a bid. Let me explain.

You are about to take a HUGE math test. This test is 90% of your grade.

Do you stress out about what color your pencil is? Do you really care if it is purple, green, blue, or yellow?

Most likely, you do not care about the color of the pencil. You are spending time studying and making sure you are prepared for the test.

This same idea applies to sorority recruitment.

Let’s look at the University of Alabama. On average, 2,5000 women go through sorority recruitment each year. The recruitment team is not going through 2,5000 social resumes and picking the “prettiest” social resumes to invite back to Round 2. They are looking at the information to find the potential new members who are good fits.

Many of the templates on Etsy are designed to look pretty, but they do not have the right information on them. When creating your social resume, you need to answer this question — Is your social resume the answer key for your recommendation letters AND does it give you the best pre-score possible?

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO INCLUDE in your social resume?

The sections you need to include are:

Your Name
Contact Information
A Picture
Education
Activities and extracurriculars
Volunteer Work
Work Experience
Awards
Legacy and Greek Affiliation
Hobbies

WHEN DO YOU NEED TO MAKE your social resume?

The sooner the better. You NEED to make it before you start asking for recommendation letters. You need to send this resume along with all the other documents to the women that are writing your recommendation letters.

Also, you will fill out a form while you are registering for sorority recruitment. This form will ask for many of the items you will put on your social resume. Your social resume will be a good guide to have while filling out the form!

HOW LONG SHOULD your SOCIAL RESUME BE?

One to two pages.

If your social resume is three pages, you have too much information.

You have a math test in two weeks that is worth 90% of your grade for the class. You want to get an A. You are looking for guidance on how to get your A.

First, you ask a friend, not in your math class, “How do I get an A+ on my test?” She says, “You need to study.” This answer leaves you frustrated.

Then, you ask your teacher, “How do I get an A+ on my test?” She gives you a step-by-step plan.

Who was more helpful?

Your teacher, right?

To get an A, you need to know the right information and have a step-by-step plan.

To get a bid to a sorority you love, you have to communicate you are the right fit for the sorority before and during sorority recruitment. A step-by-step plan tells you how and when to communicate.

BUT… why do so many women going through sorority recruitment ONLY use the advice they find on Youtube and TikTok? Does it help them stand out and get a bid?

Click the video below to see how The Ultimate Guide to Sorority Recruitment can help you create and implement your plan.
