Recruitment can be tricky, and it's hard to know what to say. The whole process can be kind of intimidating, but just be yourself as much as you can. Some things to keep in mind...
*If you are a legacy PLEASE don't assume that you have a spot. In my opinion, legacies are an outdated and rather ridiculous reason to keep someone, because if a girl doesn't fit there is no reason we should have to take her in as a sister.
*If you have been trying to get in a certain group, by all means talk to them and get to know them, so you will already feel comfortable by the time parties start OR you will know that you don't fit in there, and won't make the wrong choice.
*Don't do what we call "playing hard to get". Every year we have some girls come in and ask us to sell our sorority to them, and they pretend like they don't care about anything we're saying. Many times those same girls are disappointed when we don't invite them back. There is no better way to get cut than to act like you're doing us a favor by going to a recruitment party.
Some good things to avoid in general are boys, parties, other sororities/fraternities, and your beliefs.
By all means be yourself, but remember that if you are a freshman going through fall recruitment, then it is a SUPERFICIAL process. Your first impression can make or break your chances, so basically think of it as a job interview, and treat it as such.
