Some of my own advice from an alumna viewpoint):

*Understand that not every single PNM that you love is going to want to join your chapter. This takes a couple of recruitments to understand, but once you understand that as much as you love Susie, she may not feel the same way, it help things go a lot smoother and makes them less stressful.

*Remember to take time for yourself during the recruitment period. Seriously. Doing recruitment all day and all night can get to be really stressful. So try to squeeze in some time to hang out with some non-sorority friends, go for a run, or do something you like to do that doesn't involve the sorority.

*It's really hard sometimes, but try to keep things in perspective. This is just recruitment, not life and death. Sisters will disagree and sometimes that can make for some drama and maybe some hurt feelings, but try to remember that this is just recruitment and issues stemming from recuitment-related drama don't need to be carried on into the rest of the school year.

*No matter what happens, try not to internalize it or take it too personally. So you didn't get some of the girls you wanted. You shouldn't still be fretting over it months after recruitment. Life goes on.
