My "Real" Recruitment Story :)

Hi! I’m new to GC but I have been lurking for awhile. All the advice that I read definitely helped me through my own recruitment ☺ I had no close family members who are Greek so all of the information available on this site was invaluable!

Since I would prefer that my school not be identifiable, the round I am going to start telling the story is NOT the first. I attended 5 parties, but I am not revealing whether or not this is a full schedule. Since I am obsessed with all the “Real Housewives” series, I will refer to each of the groups as one of the cities they represent!

Orange County: I was iffy about this group from the first round, despite the fact that they are considered to be “top tier” and very difficult to get into. Honestly I was really surprised that I had gotten them back, because I hadn’t felt a connection and I had thought that was mutual. The girls are all absolutely beautiful, clearly love one another and are really enthusiastic about their great philanthropy, but I just didn’t feel that I could fit in with them.

New Jersey: I LOVED these girls from the start! I knew some of them from around campus and they really wowed me during recruitment. I loved every girl I spoke to, I adored their philanthropy, and just felt really really good the whole time I was there. I left the room feeling that this was definitely the house I belonged in.

Atlanta: I was shocked to get this group back because, being ignorant to how the recruitment process worked, I thought I had dropped them. My recruitment counselor informed me that I didn’t drop them, I had just ranked them lowest, which was not the same thing. This group was one of the ones that were really hurt by so-called “tent talk” so I went in there absolutely determined to ignore whatever I had heard and give them a fair shot. However, I was just not feeling them at all. The two girls I spoke to were both very quiet. I almost felt like I was rushing them.

Beverly Hills: This group was not one of the “favorites” that I had going in, but I had absolutely loved them first round and was really excited to get them back. I was just as happy with them the second time. I felt extremely comfortable around all the girls and never struggled for conversation. They also seemed really dedicated to philanthropy, which is extremely important to me. I really enjoyed all of the time that I spent with them.

New York: I had loved this group first round, and they did not disappoint in the second. Above all I felt that this group had the tightest sisterhood of any that I had seen. They seemed to do everything together (which is good in some ways but, as someone who has a lot of friends who did not go through recruitment it was a little troubling as well). They showed a video which was absolutely adorable and almost made me cry! I felt that I could definitely find a home here.

My rankings after that day went as follows:
1. New Jersey
2. New York
3. Beverly Hills
4. Orange County
5. Atlanta
