Recruitment Advice

[TiareNoire]

Okay, so I have another question. I read a recruitment tips list online by a current sorority member and one of her tips was to be truthful with a chapter if you don't feel it is the one for you. Ex. If you don't like the chapter, tell them respectful that while it is a great chapter, you'd feel more at home in another or something along those lines otherwise they will keep inviting you back if you don't speak up! Is this okay to do during recruitment or not advisable to do?

Not advisable. Not okay.

While you attend each party, focus on what is positive and concentrate on what you like about the chapter, party, philanthropy, etc.

If you feel the need to share something with an active, share that.

No. Rude. Remember the position that you're in. You're not "shopping for" or "choosing a chapter." Common misconception is that what YOU want is all that matters in recruitment. Could not be further from the truth.
