I definitely agree to everything that was said by others, but to add, there will certainly be opportunities to prove yourself both responsible and a leader during your NM period (if you do get a bid, of course). Some things that you may not even be thinking of are; completing and exceeding your study hours (as many chapters require you to attend or complete a certain amount of hours spent studying each week, both as a NM and an active), volunteering for things around the chapter house/chapter suite (ex: cleaning, decorating for upcoming COB parties that may happen in the spring), volunteering to be a part of a committee like others have said, applying for all-Greek leadership positions (ex: Greek Sing, Greek Week, especially positions that relate to your major), paying all of your dues on time, having an excellent attendance record, hanging out with your sisters as much as possible (how can you lead if you do not know the girls you are leading?), studying up on the history and policies of your sorority (not in an overbearing way, but to lead your sorority to success it could help to know where you came from), getting the best grades that you can so as to be an asset to your sorority.
Like with any group, you need to prove that you are responsible, upright, and truly care about the people you are leading in order to lead them. This is even true if you don't go Greek because college provides a myriad of experiences that have leadership opportunities. Be the best student you can be first, and lead by example in that, and then if you do receive a bid be the best sister you can be, and the rest will follow naturally. Best of luck with recruitment and make sure to stop back and let us know how it all goes!
