All over the country thousands of girls are prepping to go through sorority recruitment this year. It is a little crazy to think about. Sorority women can look back and remember their time going through the recruitment process. It is very stressful on the PNMs, mainly because they have no idea what to expect. So many come in with preconceived notions about what recruitment is supposed to be like. In my experience, I have discovered that no sorority woman has a recruitment story like anyone else.
Recruitment is intimidating. I will not negate that, but it is also a lot of fun! My biggest advice to PNMs is to take the time to get to know the sorority women you talk to in the chapters and in your recruitment group. You never know where you will end up and who your new Sisters will be. This is also important because you don't just have to have friends in your chapter. You can be friends with anyone, and you are creating a bond with thousands of other women by going through this process alone.
I would also advice you to not take things too seriously. You will end up where you are meant to be. It may seem strange, and you may believe you are meant to be a member of a certain chapter, but you have to trust the process.
Also, listen to your Recruitment Counselor. She has been specially trained to handle several situations and she has gone through this process before. She is not there to guide you into her chapter, but to help you find your own.
P.S. If you are a PNM, check out these useful tips I have compiled as well as #TipsforPNMs!
