The schools are Drury University in Springfield, MO and Northwest Missouri State.
I keep looking on their websites but they really don't go into appropriate attire and I really didn't expect them to talk about how competitive recruitment is. Also for these schools, how important are recs? I'm not sure I really know anyone in any of those sororities and I would feel a little awkward asking "Hey, were you in any of these sororities? Great! Can you write me a letter?" if I haven't seen them in over a year.

I'm looking at a few other schools out of state, but they don't seem to have greek life so I didn't really feel the need to mention them.


Thanks!


ETA: I tried searching for Northwest Missouri State but wasn't finding any info. I'm still searching on Drury.

As a general rule, I would go into recruitment at any school with the assumption it is competitive and thus dress to impress (take a shower, fix your hair, wear make up like you would to a job interview, dress cute and conservatively--clean clothes, no excess clevage, no bra straps showing, no underwear showing, etc.) and get recommendations to all the chapters if you can. Treat it like a job interview. They are selling you their "company" the same as you are selling yourself to be invited to come back for "further interviews" and ultimately to "get hired."

Recommendations may not always be required to receive a bid nor may they always be critical, but they certainly will never hurt you.
