What do sororities look for in a girl when they offer her a bid?

[greekintraining]

I went through rush spring semester of freshman year but didn't get a bid, though I did meet lots of people and make many new friends. Any tips for when I rush next semester as a sophomore?

I'm trying to come up with a plan that will make me stand out from now until then. So far my ideas are, 1) show face at parties, 2) maintain good gpa, 3) dress to impress, 4) casually chat up the sisters throughout the semester, 5) stay active in clubs and maybe run for a student government position, 5) take up a sport.

Any further tips would be great or stories about what made one girl stand out from the rest when she got a bid.

Thanks!!
