Here's how a 2nd year woman can RUIN her 2nd recruitment at UCLA:
Being stupid on social media - posting photos with drinks (you're 19 & not legal drinking age) or photos with guys with inappropriate comments or poses, immature Twitter names (I remember 1 starting with "whore"), or posting unflattering comments about individual chapters (like one PNM who pledged a house the year prior and dropped, then posting something like "I'm going to do better this time". FYI - she didn't) or campaigning for specific chapters DURING Recruitment.
Low GPA
Lack of activities
Not getting to know ANY sorority women in their 1st year (you don't have to be best friends, just get to know other people ... And not in a stalkerish way)
Being shy
Dressing in an unbecoming way (just avoid anything you'd wear to a club)
Strange conversations with current members during Recruitment (like I posted in "Weird Rush Stories" about the PNM who said James Franco wanted her in his creative writing class so he could stare at her boobs). Steer clear of the 3 B's: Boys, Booze, Bible conversations.
Being cranky or rude (Recruitment is long days for both sides and chapters usually do 1 more party than the PNMs, due to numbers or class schedule, so be considerate)
Having a bad reputation
Going through fall, winter, & spring recruitments and not receiving a bid, but not working on anything (GPA, activities, conversation skills, etc), then going through a 2nd fall rush and thinking the outcome will be different.
