Deferred Sophomore Recruitment

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. And I have a situation that I would just like some advice about. I know I could probably search for similar threads, but I get impatient trying to sift through those that aren't relevant. So anyway, here's my story.

My school has deferred recruitment. Last year I went through recruitment, but due to my grades, was cut by every sorority except one within the first couple rounds (it's not necessarily completely because of my grades, but I was cut from most after first round and I know my grades were below the line at which they start cutting people.) So, unfortunately, I dropped out of recruitment. It was in part because I knew I needed to work on my grades and figure out what I wanted to major in, etc, but it was also, as immature as it is, a little bit due to the fact that the sorority I was left with has a not particularly good reputation.
Within the past year, though, I have dealt with some issues that I needed to work out, figured out my major, and raised my gpa somewhat. I am planning on going through recruitment again, and I will be absolutely ecstatic to get into any of the sororities on my campus, including the one I was still invited back to last year.
Can anyone give me advice about how to have a successful recruitment? And what are good conversation topics? I can be somewhat shy, so I need all the help I can get.
Thanks for any responses you give me

Recruitment threads: few and far between here on GC.

Good luck to you in recruitment. Read as much as you can on the sorority recruitment thread. There's about a million of them with similar situations to yours. Also, there's plenty of basic recruitment advice.

Hi there,

I think you have raised some very good questions. Every one wants to have a successful recruitment. First of all be prepared. You went through last year so you should have a good sense of how to dress and look. Since you are a little shy I would write some questions down that you can ask each Chapter on each day of recruitment. You might want to have more then one just in case. Also think about activities you are involved in. Those topics should be easy for you to talk about. Also, come up with a response if you run into a girl from your recruitment group or some one who remembers you from last year. It might come up and you don't want to feel awkward. If you can practice conversation skills do it. Finally have fun and keep an open mind. Good Luck!
