*SEC Recruitment!*

[missblonde]

I plan on transferring from my current college to a major college here in the south next Fall... If I have good recommendations and a good resume, will I have a good chance at being recruited?

As far as my resumes goes; I have volunteered at my local hospital, involved in alot of church activites, and helped at animal shelters... that's about it! Will I need more extracurricular activies to have a better resume? There aren't many clubs and organizations at my current college, so i'm left with only a few other options when it comes to more volunteering and such.

Also, I was home-schooled my 10-12th grade years. (The high school where I live wasn't 'up to par' according to my mother.)

I did do very well on the ACT though!

I know that Greek Life is very important at my future college and I really want to get into a sorority! Please give me tips and tell me what chance I have of getting pledged into a sorority as a sophomore.

Thanks in advance!

Traditionally, sophomores' chances are not the same as freshmen.

No one here can tell you what your chances are or whether you'll get a bid or not.

My best advice would be to GET RECOMMENDATIONS for every chapter on your campus and prepare as best you can.

It is quite late in the summer so if you are really planning on going through recruitment, you need to really get moving on trying to find recs.

Good luck.

Actually I will be transferring next Fall (2011). And would I get recommendations for every single sorority? I don't know many people that were/are Greek. How would I go about getting recs? Also, would I try to get more than one rec for a single sorority? Or just one rec for each?

Yes. Every sorority. From what I have read on GC, some say 2-3 per chapter is a good number. If you can get more, then do.

As far as getting them, ask:

former teachers
coaches
parents
friends of parents
professors
etc.

Anyone you think might either be a sorority alumna or KNOW some sorority alumnae who can help you.

You can also contact your local alumnae panhellenic group for help.
