Case in point: one recruitment there was a woman that many of my sisters knew as a very cute, outgoing and highly accomplished PNM. There was a LOT of buzz about her, and we knew her personality was so strong and her accomplishments so amazing (and trust me, they were EXCEPTIONAL, maybe one of THE top PNMs in terms of accomplishments that year) that she would surely be high on our list.
She made it through two parties before she was released. Both parties all she did was talk about all the things she loved about us that she had clearly researched. Our socials last year, the amount we raised in our philanthropy, specific things from our history...although on paper this sounds like we should have been honored that she was so interested, IN PERSON it seemed very weird, strange and like she was trying to "trick" herself in.
The problem was that even though there were some women that vouched for her, the only thing about her personality that came off to the others was that she was obsessed with our GLO. She was released after quite a bit of confusion as to what to do with her...she ended up with not many options for sororities, which given her personality, accomplishments, grades and, let's be honest, looks, was VERY surprising. It got around that she did this for all the groups, and that they all thought it was a little too obsessive/weird.
So to sum up, after two posts haha, is that I think a few questions mixed with some conversation that will bring out your personality will be far more successful for you.
