Potential New Members This Is Important

I second the comment about application pictures. Not only with the silly things, but I specifically remember how surprised we were with the "seductive" pictures that were sent. I realize it might be your favorite picture of yourself but showing cleavage, mid drift or too much thigh isn't appropriate for recruitment application pictures. It sounds obvious but it happens SO often. There's nothing wrong with flattering pictures, thats great, but it shouldn't be seductive.

Sorry if it sounds like a bit of a rant, this has always just been a little pet peeve of mine.

QFT. Please also avoid prom pics. I know you spent hours on that look, but unless you plan on coming to recruitment parties with the same hair, makeup, and attire, it will do you no good. Chapters use the pics for recognition purposes so that they can match your real-life conversation to your application and remember all your wonderful qualities. Submit a photo that looks like you do at any given time.

This is more for sophomores and people with deferred recruitment: Do not lie on you online application about being involved in certain clubs or activities on campus. There is a very good chance that there is an active sister involved in that specific campus activity and you will get caught if you lie about belonging to it.

We had a PNM write on her application that she was an active member in habitat. One of our sisters was the president of habitat, she didn't know the girl and looked on her list of habitat members and the girl wasn't listed.
