I'm going through recruitment as a sophomore next Fall and the girls I am rooming with next year are all in sororities. I've already checked my college Panhellenic's policies on this and know that I have to report this information to the VP of Recruitment.

I'm concerned that members will think I only want to be in one of my roommates' sororities. Don't get me wrong, I love my roommates and think each of their sororities are great, but so are all the other sororities on campus. Does anyone know of a tactful way to communicate that I'm open to ALL the sororities, not just the ones my roommates are in?

I don't think anyone will assume that unless you go into every party and talk about your XYZ and ABC roommates.

If every 3rd word out of your mouth is "My roommate this" or "my roommate is an ABC/XYZ" or "my roommate said..." people might start to think that you only want to be where your roommates are.

Another thing to keep in mind:

Your roommates' chapters will likely know that they live with a PNM who is going through recruitment (because girls talk).

Mind your behavior and watch what you say. If you come home totally wasted, pretty much assume that their chapters will hear about it. If you gossip about a chapter, assume they'll hear it. Just be smart.
