be prepared to be their "big sister" or their mom for the duration of recruitment. they will look up to you and take in everything you say. be funny, be fun, be wise, be a friend, be kind and compassionate.

when i was a rush counselor, two girls who were best friends from a small town, and were roommates, vowed that they would join the same sorority and be bff. as the week wore on, they realized that they were liking different sororities. one of the girls had a long talk with me, because she had been dropped by her friends favorite house and her friend had dropped her favorite house, so she knew they would not be sisters. she wanted to drop out of recruitment. it took a lot of talking and hand holding to convince her not to drop out of recruitment, but she did stay in and she joined her top choice, as did her friend. she was very happy and ended up a terrific member of her sorority. that made it all worth while.
