Recruitment blog idea!

[andthen]

I agree why not go for it. I think its commendable to try and look at things from the viewpoint of those who might not fit the "typical sorority profile" each campus is different as well as far as culture and competitiveness as many who have posted their recruitment stories here can attest to.

But even still having a place where you are addressing these issues that might not be super common and having a space for readers to get some ideas on how to put their best foot forward might be a welcome addition.

One other thought to consider is if you know other members of GLOs who have found their home and might have medical considerations, or from a different racial/ethnic background perhaps see if they might be open to share their ideas on your blog (i.e. as a guest blogger). Since sometimes advice might come easier from someone who has been there and managed to get through and be successful.

Good point. I don't know the OP's race or ethnicity; but, I was thinking earlier that it might be a little problematic to have someone from one ethnicity giving hair and make-up pointers to people from another.

OP's statement:\ "I’m white, thin, and blonde, there were thousands of makeup tutorials, rush videos, and blog posts that fit my demographic but none that really fit everyone’s demographic. "

Oops! I missed that. So, even more reason to not tell a woman from another race or ethnicity how she should do her make-up. andthen's idea to have a "guest" on the blog post is one way to address that.

Unless you are a professional stylist or makeup artist that has had years of experience with all sorts of people, you are treading on a lot of things that are not your province. Guest posts would be essential to address a lot of the things you mentioned.

I would also caution against listing the sororities that accept transgender members. It could be misinterpreted to mean that they will always receive a bid and as we all know that’s not the case.

This is...odd. Am I alone here, in thinking this post is odd?
