Clemson Recruitment 2013/clemsongirl's Recruitment Story!

[CUYankee]

Clemsongirl, it is so nice to hear such a successful recruitment story! I will be rushing as a sophomore next year at Clemson, so I was wondering if you had any advice for going through recruitment as an upperclassmen...my main concern was that most of the sophomore quota would get filled up by transfers or former Bridge students that have close friends in all of the sororities (I am out of state like you), but your story gives me hope! Besides getting rec letters and being very open minded and positive throughout recruitment, what other advice would you give to a sophomore rushing at Clemson/what would you do differently if you could?

The sophomore quota is used for girls who come in for all different reasons-I know lots of girls who simply didn't rush or re-rushed and were more successful the second time around. I don't think there's much I'd do differently and you seem to most of the best advice, but I cannot stress enough to keep an open mind! Tent talk most certainly happens, but knowing in your heart how YOU feel about a chapter is crucial. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk more about recruitment here!
