what is a standards concern
by: )I'm going through recruitment but I heard rumours that if you talk about partying you won't get given a bid?

There are 4 things you probably shouldn't bring up during conversation during recruitment: boys, partying/drinking, money and politics. Why? Well, you're trying to join a sorority. They want to get to know YOU, and for you to get to know their organization. Not about what your favorite club is or which frat you like best. It's not so much that everyone looks down on those topics, its just that it looks like you're joining for the wrong reasons if you get what I mean? When you meet someone for the first time, you wouldn't be like "oh hey where do you party? and who with" so you therefore shouldn't during recruitment :)

What other people said.
Remember that these women are trying to figure out who YOU are. Obviously we're university students and most of us like to go out and have fun, but that's irrelevant during recruitment.
We want to know about your passions and goals, your interests, whether you're a leader, whether you're a kind person, etc. Deeper stuff than "oh man I got so drunk at the frats last weekend"
There is a limited time to talk during recruitment and if you're not getting a good impression across in a short time then that's not a good thing

don't feel the need to talk about partying just to seem cool because I've seen this happen before to very sweet girls who appear to be intimidated. This will not work in your favor.
HOWEVER, if partying truly is the sole reason why you want to join a sorority, then by all means I recommend bringing that up because as an older member of a sorority, I would rather know this in advance than be shocked once you end up joining.
Also, keep in mind to act classy during the first week parties. Sorority girls are everywhere and you don't want to leave a bad impression.

Also I've actually had an incident where girls recruiting will actually talk about parties and frats etc. which is kinda a warning sign too. Obviously the girls are supposed to be outgoing but if they're bringing up that stuff instead of asking about you and talking about the actual sorority you might wanna think twice before joining..

you're trying to meet new people so don't say anything you wouldnt say if you just met someone new! a good rule of thumb is don't mention anything that would be inappropriate to say around family/job interviews (but still keep it fun - you are trying to meet your new sisters!)
