During formal recruitment, what makes an impression on members?

Every sorority looks for different things in potential members. There is no absolute answer. In general, I think sororities are looking for girls with good grades who are involved on campus, outgoing, and well put-together.

Now when I say "well put-together" I don't mean you need to be a size 2 and a beauty queen with a brand new expensive outfit every day with a designer purse. You just need to make an effort to look your best during recruitment.

Also, they look for girls who are likely to get involved in the sorority and actually participate in events.

Sororities are not really a big mystery. They are filled with women just like you. Think about what stands out to you when you are at a party with a lot of other women. You usually like the friendly, outgoing girl who can hold a conversation no matter the topic. You usually ignore the girls that hide in the corner and refuse to make small talk or even eye contact. You usually avoid the women that you've heard bad things about or know are mean or petty. The only difference with recruitment is that your grades and activities are also factored in. Usually these will only help you unless you have no activities and a low or borderline GPA.

I think it would be easier to ask what the chapters are not looking for in PNMs.
