I may be over-thinking it but please let me know your thoughts! By the way, I will be doing a live recruitment thread during the week yay!!

Some advice:

*Get recommendations, if you haven't already done so.

*Soph quota is great, but it doesn't = every soph getting a bid. Not saying that this is what you think, but I have read of PNMs mistakenly thinking that.

*Be sure to avoid talking about your friends in XYZ during recruitment. If every 3rd word is "my friends in XYZ" the chapter likely think exactly what you don't want them to think.

*Also, make sure your XYZ friends know that you're keeping an open mind. Sometimes, friends can mistakenly think that since you are BFFs, that you obviously are only interested in THEIR sorority. Be sure they understand that that's not the case for you, to avoid any hurt feelings or misunderstandings.
