Potential Leadership in House

Thank you all for responding so quickly! Wow!

That all makes perfect sense! But how do I say that I want to be in a position of leadership without sounding cocky or overbearing? I definitely do not want that impression during recruitment.

If you're at a Big 12 school, the chapters are fairly large and you'll most likely be a sophomore or junior before you get anything that's not an appointed office.

Also, just FYI, leadership positions in any college extracurricular can be very very different than what you're used to in high school. It's OK to say something like what TriDeltaSallie suggested, but quite frankly, it would be in your best interest to just sit back for a while and look at how things are run before you bite off more than you can chew. In a sorority or in ANY college activity you get involved in.

Sometimes, it's better to be a follower for a while. Get your feet wet and then worry about how you're going to lead everyone else. Leadership is an admirable trait, but no one wants to hear a PNM tell them that they're going to change/improve/make ABC THE BEST SORORITY EVAH!!.

Enjoy recruitment, and if you get a bid, Bid Day. Then enjoy your new member period. Don't look too much further than that for a while. You only get one go-around at being brand new.
