Now I have some questions of my own about the process, but I was wondering if you think there is something I should ask in particular? I know the process is different at every school, but I'm kind of clueless. I have no idea how it works beyond freshman year. I just know how Recruitment works.
Thanks for any help, or just taking the time to read this  |
I would be very careful not to make her feel like you are only going to lunch with her bc you want to have an "in" with her sorority. If you go to lunch, start out with general chitchat, and then tell her you have a few questions about recruitment, and if it's ok to ask - a few.
Just remember that she cannot tell her your odds of getting in, if your GPA will guarantee you a bid, or if she can rally her sisters for you. Keep the questions general, such as - what does your group look for in new members ? She can't tell you with certainty anything much about the other orgs, because it would largely be heresay.
I would suggest writing down a few questions. Instead of asking us what we think you should ask, why not come up with some questions that you really want answered. What do you really want to know? Make a list. That's your starting point. Remember that most general recruitment questions can be answered by your Greek office, and you defer to them for the majority of information. That's their job.
Good luck, and remember to keep the "interrogation" part short and sweet. Thank her right there for her help, and then move on to general chitchat before you depart. Make sure that you don't maker her your sounding board for the remainder of time before next recruitment.
Have fun with your new friend!
