Sorority Recruitment Advice 2024
by: Advice
It's that time girls are thinking about going through recruitment so I just wanted to give PNMs some advice.
The best thing I ever did for myself was to not listen to any gossip or negative talk. Everyone has opinions. Meet the girls and form your own opinions.
Many girls go into recruitment thinking they want to join a top tier chapter. I have friends in top and mid chapters and I can tell you none of that matters. Yes there are differences but the reality is that the sororities here are more similar than they are different. It’s normal to go in with favorites, we all do. Just make sure you have an open mind and are realistic. Top tier chapters are very competitive and drop many girls early on. They also take a lot of friends of active girls. It’s disappointing to be cut but remember you want to be a part of a chapter that wants you.
There are beautiful and amazing girls in all the tiers. All have socials and fun events. Make sure you choose a sorority for the right reasons or you may end up where you don’t fit in. Some girls pick a top chapter and find their home. Some pick a top chapter for status and end up feeling out of place so they drop. Some choose a mid chapter over a top because genuinely connect with the girls. Some choose a bottom and love it. Be true to yourself and follow your heart. Go where you vibe.
The most important things to consider are personalities and sisterhood. I wish I could have told freshman year me to join the sorority that will help you grow as a person and has members that you think will truly support you as a friend.
Don’t stress, trust the process. Its a lot but you can relax and look forward to running home to your lifelong sisters.
Pan love.
#2 by: Rules
1. The first rule, of all rules. Be yourself.
You want to be authentically yourself so that you find the sorority that loves you for you and you’re in your correct home.
2. Social Media Rules / Following Sororities
Be mindful of what sororities you’re following. We will 100% check. If you’re only following “top” sororities, that is a major red flag to us. If you’re only following a handful sororities we will believe you already have an idea of where you want to go. Most pnms follow all or most of our sorority chapters. If you chose to follow only one, or a small few, you’re hurting your chances with other sorority chapters.
Some other general social media rules are:
• No pictures with alcohol, big no no.
• No extremely inappropriate pictures.
• Nothing extremely controversial.
• Do not post about your “favorite” or “least favorite” sororities on social media. Do not discuss it at all.
3. Trust the process.
Sorority recruitment is designed to provide opportunities for you to get to know the chapters and for the chapters to get to know you. At times, this process can seem chaotic and you may question how decisions are made. Feel free to ask questions but remember this process is tried and tested. It works, so trust the process.
4. Be prepared.
You’ll need a bag with food, comfortable shoes, make up, water, a portable phone charger and much more. It’s a long day and you want to be prepared.
5. Don’t speak about this process.
This process is exciting and you’re going to want to tell everyone but, it’s best if you don’t. Speaking negatively of a sorority can rub others the wrong way even in other sororities. If we hear that you didn’t like or did like certain houses, it isn’t a positive. Make sure you’re keeping your choices quiet.

The only thing I would change about the advice above is that there is no such thing as tiers. This website is not a scientific source of information so the tiering system on here is completely bias and subjective/opinion based. Your “top/middle/bottom” will be very different from the girl next to you and the girl next to her and so on. The opinions of this single website should not influence you because they are not your opinion. You get to form your own! We can’t wait to meet you!

greek life changed, it’s not just all about looks. we recruit for personality, reputation, values, diversity, leadership, intelligence, confidence. yes we all want attractive girls but other factors are just as important.
it is so important to be yourself, not who you think they want. that usually doesn’t turn out well. if you put on a show most likely you won’t fit in and you will drop. this happens a lotttt.
enjoy and find your people.
