Practice makes perfect of course but if you're going through recruitment now there may not be much time. The way I looked at it as an active (since I never went through formal as a PNM) was just to try to have a fun conversation with another girl or two and see where it goes. I know that you really want to be in a sorority right now and that is what you are focusing on but I promise, if you chill out a bit, it will be a better experience for you overall.

Think of it this way, do you start trying to sell your personality to a guy on the first date? Do you start thinking seriously about marriage or what to name your kids? No, you have a conversation and see where it goes. Recruitment is much the same thing. Try to lower the stakes for yourself and I think you will have a better experience, even if you don't actually get a bid. If nothing else this is excellent preparation for future job and internship interviews.

So seriously, take some deep breaths. Don't overanalyze it too much; you will drive yourself crazy. Call family members and friends for support, that's what they're there for! Best of luck, let us know how everything goes.
