Be yourself. Nobody else wants the job.

Also, I'm confused. If I understand correctly, this sorority holds recruitment in the spring, right? Do they hold fall recruitment? If not, you may be getting too far ahead of yourself by trying to practice answers for a recruitment that won't be held for another year. What if they decide to switch up the interview questions next year? Then you will have practiced for questions they didn't ask and you might become super stuck and flustered. Now what?


You seem overly concerned with giving all the right answers and telling the sorority what you think they want to hear. Look, here's the thing - did you ever consider that the problem is not with your answers? Maybe the issue is just *you*. You could give a textbook perfect answer during the interview and the sorority may *still* not select you. Why? Because maybe you're giving wooden, rehearsed answers and they're not seeing you for who you are - your personality, your talents, your spirit. As several people have tried to explain, people are looking to make friends, not select the next philanthropy chairwoman. Show them your warm smile, your engaging personality, your fun side, your heart.


Take the rest of this year to get involved in other activities on campus. Have fun, learn how to relax, and learn how to be a friend to others. Once you work out how to engage others socially in a friendly and positive way, you will have more to bring to the table for your next recruitment.
