Coming from a chapter who constantly did COR through the year, take this advice: In open recruitment, it is vital to just be your self. You can be shy and not turn them off to you at the same time. Be yourself, and be excited to be there. That will show through more than anything. Smile alot and be friendly, like I said, even if you're shy it'll help. Answer questions and aska few of your own. On another note, chapters who are CORing are just as anxious for you to be there as you are to be there. They want to meet all these amazing girls who have chosen to come to their open parties. It's different than formal recruitment bc you are not required to be at that party in order to join a sorority. See what I mean? Like I said, they are just as nervous in many cases and are so happy to have you there. HAVE FUN and GOOD LUCK!
