Like I have said before, sorority recruitment is A L L about small talk. The goal of the sorority members is to get to know you and to see if you are the perfect fit.

Round One the small talk is light and fun, but by Pref it gets more serious. Pref is all about answering some tough questions. Okay may not tough, but these questions will require a little more thinking.

Here are some of the go to questions for Pref.

• What are you looking for in a sorority?

• What can you contribute to the sorority?

• Why do you want to join the sorority?

I told you they require some thinking….

When I was asked these type of questions, I immediately thought okay Kelly….. we were just talking about how cute my dress was. Now this? I was completely thrown off guard.

You probably can guess my response. W O R D V O M I T .

hate to break it to you… but sorority recruitment is A L L about small talk. Like every single conversation. It’s one conversation after another, and it starts to feel like you have had the same conversation one million times.

You will be asked all the basic questions. Like:

Where are you from?

What year are you?

Where are you living?

What did you do this summer OR What did you do during Fall semester?

So, how do you take these basic conversations and turn them into something amazing?

What to wear? What to wear? What to wear?

Deciding what to wear to sorority recruitment can seem very overwhelming. You feel like you need to look your absolute best. You might even feel pressured to find the perfect outfits.

I am going to breakdown the basic guideline of what to wear for sorority recruitment.

The number one babe tips is to show off your personal style. Remember sorority recruitment is not about what labels you are wearing.

What’s up with your score and sorority recruitment? Right?

You might be wondering...

How does your score work? What are the sorority members scoring you on? How do the sorority members decide who to keep and who to drop?

I am going to break it all down for you!

So you went through recruitment. You did not get a bid for whatever reason.

You might be disappointed right now, B U T you still have options!!

COB (continuous open bidding) is a great way to join a sorority after formal recruitment.

Basically, COB is like formal sorority recruitment but much more casual. You get to really meet some of the sorority members. It’s less small talk and more get to know you talk. It like hanging out with some new friends.

Sorority recruitment can be hard. You wake up before the sun. You make small talk with what seems like a million girls. Your emotions are on a rollercoaster.

When you finally get that bid, everything seems like it was worth it.

Then, you meet new people. You get a Big. You get to go on fun date nights. You are living the sorority life you have dreamed of.

But, stuff happens. Maybe the sorority costs more than you thought. Maybe life happens. Maybe the sorority requires more time than you thought.

You are forced to make a hard decision. Do you drop or do you stay?

You have probably seen it all over Instagram. Girls are posting about how much they love their Bigs (or Littles) with all the cliche captions.

But… What’s up with this Big and Little thing? What’s really going on?

Here’s the breakdown about Big and Little:

After you accept a bid from a sorority, you immediately go to Bid Day. Bid Day is one of the most exciting days of the year for sorority girls. It’s basically like a H U G E party just for you and all your new sisters!

Okay, here is the situation… sorority recruitment has it’s own language. Like REC letters, legacies, Big/ Little, the list goes on. What do all these words even mean?

Today, we are going to dive into legacies. There is a lot to this topic. I mean like a ton.

Here is the breakdown: Every sorority has its own legacy policy. Each policy covers all the basics. It explains who is considered a legacy and if the legacy gets any special treatment.

What to wear to sorority recruitment…

This topic can seem overwhelming at first, but I am going to break it all down for you. I am going to talk about everything.

The number one babe tips is to show off your personal style. Remember sorority recruitment is not about what labels you are wearing. The sorority members want to get to know you, and they want to see who you are!

You made it to Pref Round! Y A Y !

Pref Round is the last round of sorority recruitment, and  it’s usually the most serious round. Things tend to get emotional.

The sorority member show you why they chose their sorority. They let you in on their sorority recruitment experience. They let down their walls to see if you are the right fit for the sorority. It’s their last time to pitch you on why you need to a member.
