Helping out another sorority

[limegreen]

I helped out another chapter with recruitment many years ago. My advice is to mention the fact that you ARE from another chapter. It shows that the sorority is not just one chapter, but an organization of many chapters and there's potential for visiting other campuses and making even more friends and a broader sisterhood. Leave the individual campus chat and local info to the local members and discuss the national organization, philanthropy, etc.

Avoid talking about specific customs from your chapter and campus.

Yes, yes, YES.

There are several stories on here from PNMs who talked to members of another chapter who DIDN'T mention that fact right off the bat and it left the majority of them with a very bad taste in their mouth for that sorority. Which, of course, is the opposite of what you want to do.

If it's at all possible, get there early and spend some time with the girls in the chapter beforehand so it doesn't seem like you just dropped out of a helicopter or something. LOL

This.

Don't go on and on about how your chapter does this supercool date party or this super cool new member sleepover where the NMs are treated to a Broadway show and filet mgnon. All that does is make Patty PNM wonder "why doesn't the chapter at our school do that?"

Either that or she mistakenly thinks that the chapter does the same things and is a little disapponted.
