A word of advice for PNMs:

Be yourselves. Seriously.

We're not just saying that to be cliche.

This reminded me of a small cute story. At our Senior Tea with the local alumnae association, we were all talking about why we joined our sorority. A lot of people mentioned how they felt so comfortable and like they were with family, etc. One sister mentioned her first night of recruitment. She walked in and someone was talking about Star Wars, and she thought, "Wow, they're just as weird as me!" Obviously, not every chapter is like that but I think you get my point. Why would you want to be fake during recruitment then not be able to be yourself for the rest of the time you're a member?
