Tips for Colonization Recruitment

Even if recs are rare and give you little to no advantage with members of the current chapters, having a rec would make you stand out to the colonization team. You have 6-7 months to find one alumna of one sorority through your own contacts. Very doable.

Just out of curiosity, where would she send it?

I colonized DG at North Carolina State University.

Things I think the colonization team looked for or noticed:

> Recommendations would definitely be noticed - and girls with them given special consideration.

> Desire to take leadership positions.

> Involvement on campus (other clubs, student government, etc.).

> Involvement in honors programs/classes.

We had to do personal interviews and I'm sure sharing a vision for what you want to get out of being a colony member would help as well (ex. giving ideas/suggestions for philanthropy events).

Good luck. Being a colony member is very rewarding, but a lot of hard work!

Look on the organization's (inter)national website to see if there is information regarding that colonization. It should have contact information for someone on the colonization team who is accepting recommendations.
