Don't worry, there won't be that agony that came with rush week, it's much much much more laid back. This is a really unique opportunity because we get to build our reputation and choose new traditions for ------ at the ------. Our job is to find girls who are interested in creating a new chapter, so that way we can bring the big shots from the ----- corporate here to help take the next steps. If you're interested e-mail or talk to ---, -----, or -----"

Wow, reading that I was like "Yeah! Yeah! Oh....No! No! No!"
I have no unrealistic expectations that this process is going to be easier than Formal Recruitment (except we won't have to stand in heels for 8 hours, thank goodness). I know that I'm going to have to present my best self and be on my game. Other people around me are like "oh girl, you're so going to get in" and I tell them "hopefully, but I'm not counting it until the paper is in my hand". I have extensive volunteer experience through Big Brothers Big Sisters and US FIRST, donated my hair for cancer patients, and hold/have held lots of different leadership positions both in school and in the workplace. So a leadership position would be super intriguing to me right off the bat and what I'm
hoping for but not what I'm
expecting.
I thoroughly enjoy the term "big shots". Sounds super professional - ha!
