On your resume you want to include your gpa and scale, class rank and any academic honors you received. You also need to include any organizations that you were involved in - academic or social - in school or out of school - and any offices you held in the groups. Volunteer work you may have done should also be included. These are some of the things chapters look at during recruitment (rush).
Many chapters have a specific grade requirement and must (per their national organization) not invite these women back after a certain round. They also want to see how active you were in high school to see if you will be active in college.
Pictures don't need to be glamed up - but should be nice pictures of you and what you look like now. When my lil sis went through her older sister had to tell everyone that she no longer look like the pic she sent in (she went from brown hair to blonde).
The most important thing to remember about recruitment is to keep an open mind about all the chapters and most importantly to remember why you are joining a sorority. You want to join a chapter because you like the women you have met and want to know them better - because you can see their bond of sisterhood and want to share it. You should join because of the women - not because of the parties or the boys. You are making a lifelong commitment to a sisterhood and that should be the most important thing you look for in a sorority - the rest is just icing on the cake!
