Hey everyone, I have a couple of questions about recruitment at GW for sophomores. What's the deal? I've been reading all of the posts with tips for PNMs, but most of the advice seems focused toward incoming freshmen.
Friends of mine have told me that the 1st day conversations are often fairly surface and about the PNM's high school, hometown, etc. How are the conversations during recruitment different? What kinds of things should I be prepared to talk about?
I've heard that a couple of chapters only like to take freshmen. Am I at a disadvantage? If so, how much?
How important are my resume and GPA? I have a good GPA - above 3.5 - and am active in several organizations on campus. Will this provide me with any advantage, or no?
Also - what to wear during recruitment? How dressed up/down should I be each day? I've read through the Panhel viewbook from last year, and while it gives recommendations, they are pretty vague, and I don't want to be wearing the wrong thing!
And any other general advice you have for sophomore recruitment/recruitment at GW would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
