Stephen F. Austin sorority recruitment help

[catiebug]

Tayler--

When I was at SFA (I graduated 1992), recruitment was fairly competitive. Back then, we held recruitment in the spring semester before school started, but I hear it's been moved to the fall. When I was there, Sigma Kappa was just leaving and a couple of years later, Gamma Phi Beta colonized, but it has since closed, too.

Recs are necessary, no matter what they tell you.

The Greek Life office is very helpful. There are quite a few sorority women at SFA as staff or faculty: SFA Judicial Officer Peggy Scott is an Alpha Delta Pi and Student Activities Director Bev Farmer is a Sigma Kappa. If you're going to write for The Pine Log or work on The Stone Fort, Pat Spence is a Chi Omega. These are just the ones I remember (and are still there); I am sure there are many more.

Even with only five sororities -- Alpha Chi Omega, Chi Omega, Zeta Tau Alpha, Delta Delta Delta and Delta Zeta -- the days are long. You will get tired of smiling.

When I went was at SFA, the girls going through recruitment all met in the University Center and were bussed out to the houses (over on Steen Drive -- go take a look at them if you haven't already).

From what I can see, it looks like they have photos on the SFA Panhel Web site to let you know what attire is appropriate for each day. Follow this and you should be okay clothes-wise. Of course, make sure your hair is clean, nails are in good shape and makeup is conservative.

If I can help with anything, please just reply or PM me. Maybe there is someone else here on GC that went through recruitment more recently than I did who'll pipe in, too.
