Suggesting Recruitment to a PNM

[adpiucf]

I would bring it up organically. Say, "SISTER and I were talking about how similiar your school is to mine." Share an example and then launch into how you found your home away from home in Greek Life, etc., and then tell her about your experience and tell her that if she's interested in sorority life, you think she would be a great candidate and you'd be glad to help her prepare. After that, she can decide.

Great suggestion from adpiucf. The only thing I would add is this: be careful about wording any "great candidate" comment. Alas, it's sometimes easy for a PNM to misinterpret and think/feel that "you" (generic) are saying she will get a bid to her dream sorority or to your sorority. We know we can't be sure of that. Being encouraging and helpful is the goal, I think -- not leaving her thinking anything's a sure thing.

Best wishes to her and to you.
