For the whole sorority-life sort of presentation at Info night, they used that natasha bedingfield song "unwritten", which i like, but it's getting old/overplayed. We also heard some other song, it might have been country? I tried to Google it but couldn't the lyrics but something like these are the memories that will last you for the rest of your life, something about a box of photos from the attic. I don't remember the rest of it. Maybe the Michelle Branch song "You Get Me", which, surprisingly was the theme song from the sorority life tv show (I just found this out). Random, but there's a song called Poprocks & Coke by Green Day that I really like as well, but it might be a little rock-ier for your presentation.

Second on what the previous posters have suggested, and my chapter actually uses the Michelle Branch "I'll always be right there" song during pref night - it always gets the girls crying!

I also like Jefferson Starship "nothing's gonna stop us now", it's kinda more of a love song but our seniors used it last year for something and it was really cute!

"This One's for thr Girls" by Martina McBride. I love this song and the chorus sums up the complete sorority experience.

This one's for the girls,
Who've ever had a broken heart;
Who've wished upon a shootin' star:
You're beautiful the way you are.
This one's for the girls,
Who love without holdin' back;
Who dream with everything they have.
All around the world,
This one's for the girls.

I like KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See." An excerpt:

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Excellent suggestion! Upbeat, catchy, and not overdone.

If the Kappa in your name refers to Kappa Kappa Gamma...

You should check out the Shawn Colvin song "Never Saw Blue Like That Before"... we used it at our Pref Ceremony, it's really sweet.

Some of my favorites are:

"Every little thing she does is magic" - The Police
*If you wanted a more upbeat version, there's one out by Ra. Might be a little TOO heavy though.

"Somewhere over the rainbow" - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole

I like "You look wonderful tonight" by Eric Clapton, though I've never heard it used before as far as recruitment videos.

I've heard AOPi's use "The Rose" by Bette Midler. I think its great if your org has a rose.
