recruitment tips
 

what's something that you wish someone would have told you before recruitment? what's something that surprised you during recruitment? i will be rushing in less than two weeks and i want to be as prepared and knowledgeable as possible! thank you :)

I wish my sister HADN'T told me so much about rush because I spent my time focused on where they had their notebooks stashed or where the "secret room" was. She told me they had a casket in the attic, and although I didn't necessarily believe that, I was focused on all the secret stuff about sororities instead of the parts I should have been worrying about - making friends and paying attention to what's ACTUALLY going on around me. I went through rush in a blur and wish I had played a more active role in where I'd end up, instead of just letting the wind take me. Not that I didn't end up in a great house, but it might have been good for me to, you know, CARE until Preference when it finally kicked in.

I'm a 100 years old, but I'll bite. These are my wishes for PNM's going through recruitment because I'm to old to remember any thing about mine! I wish someone would tell PNM's to shake it off and continue on when their very favorite house, the only one they can see themselves in, has released them. The week will be emotional and exhausting. What you have to remember is that it is emotional and exhausting for the active members as well. They are feeling the same way you are. No matter what happens remember this quote from 33girl "She needs to get rid of ALL her preconceptions and pretend this is the first day of rush at a school that only has these three sororities. Because for her, it is."
