how to make an impression?

[ASTalumna06]

First of all, dress to stand out. But not so much so that you look weird. Wear an interesting piece of jewelry. Or add some cute accessories to a boring dress. Wear a bright color. Etc.

As long as you're asking open-ended questions, you should be fine. But look for fun things to talk about. But also understand that these fun questions usually come from the boring ones. A question about where the sister is from can turn into a discussion about where she's traveled and where she'd like to go in the future. A question about her major can lead to her telling you all about her dream job that you know nothing about.

Safe questions: ask about the sorority.

Don't ask things like, "What's your philanthropy? Do you like it?" ... Instead, ask things like, "Can you tell me a little about your new member program?" ... Or, "Are you girls close with other ABC chapters in the area?" Sound interested in more than just the "basics".

Also... ellaborate when giving answers. I'm not saying that you're not already doing this, but remember: the sisters are there to learn more about you, too. And some of them are just as desperate as you are to get the conversation flowing. The more information you give them, the more you'll both have to work with.
