Hey friends! I came into the Greek system as a first generation and rush was very overwhelming so here’s what I wish I knew and what will help you have a great recruitment week. When you are walking in the house, make sure your name tag is visible. It helps make sure the girl who is supposed to talk to you gets to talk to you. Door songs: yes they are real. Don’t freak out. There will likely be an intro/outtro song for each house at least rounds 2&3. As tempting as it is to start taking notes immediately after you leave the house so you remember, stay and watch them with your full attention. They literally are relevant and don’t chose a house bc you like their song, but it’s considered rude to not watch the whole thing with all your attention, and I did not know that. Bring water, oil blotting sheets and makeup to touch up, an umbrella, a snack, and shoes to walk between houses in your bag. For philanthropy round, there are going to be houses that have you do activities that are related to their philanthropy . Yeah it’s a lil awkward trying to hold a convo and doing stuff, but the more normal you treat it, the better it goes. Also For round two, google each house’s philanthropy before entering and try to think of a way you personally can connect or empathize. Don’t listen to the girls in your walking/gamma chi group or hallway who act they know everything and you hear them say judgements after every house. I had this one girl in my walking/gamma chi group act like that, every time she came out of a house she would say something negative and would talk about ranks and there’s always gonna be that one girl, but to keep it in perspective that girl ended up getting dropped from almost every house. So don’t listen to what might be called tent talk. Last but not least, is to modify your expectations. If you get dropped from a house you like, don't get all depressed and assume you just don't belong in greek life. Instead, just realize that there are hundreds of girls that could be in any house and our new member classes are going to have 150+. So girls are going to get released from what they thought were their fav. Do not give those that releasd you more then a minute. Move ahead with new eyes and know that YOU are wanted. If you understand that you will have a wonderful greek experience with any house, you'll be able to rank every day according to what you like, not what greekrank tells you to like. If you have questions, leave them below. No judgement. Myself and other active members can help. Please keep this a ranking free, Panhellenic-friendly zone
