making a connection

This year will be TCU's biggest recruitment year yet. the most girls will be going through and it will be very very competitive

Don't doubt that when you are friendly and real you will connect with like minded sisters. It is almost impossible but try to put other people's perspectives out of your mind and go with your heart. You can look up each groups symbols and charities and show interest. Maximize your invites each day and tune out rumors. You will be great and end up with a whole house of potential new friends.

Do the above and try to think of an interesting fact about yourself to share. Do not discuss politics, religion, other houses or how you are better than any group you visit.

This is another thread with solid information for PNM to read through.

About 1000 girls are expected this year. Other than the obvious advice of getting rec letters, letters of support, natural photos...in on time: dress to impress, bring gloss and a brush for touch ups between houses. Smile and be interested in all girls you meet in all houses, have a couple of unique facts to share to help you stand out. Know a little about the houses and thank people for their interest in you. Pray

After reading through these answers, this is a strong overall post with a lot of helpful tips for PNMS to know.

Reading through this thread made me wish I had all these words of wisdom before I went through recruitment. There are so many helpful things on here. Take them to heart and you will be well prepared for this exciting adventure.

The best way to have a positive experience during recruitment is to be the most polished you can be under the what to wear guidelines. Be natural in appearance and your attitude. Be friendly and appreciative toward anyone you interact with whether they are in a house or a fellow PNM. You never know who will end up as your sisters!

I am going to bump a couple of these good information posts because PNMs are nervous and asking the same questions.

There are so many strong points to be found here. Above all show respect and appreciation to each member of each house. You are not at a huge school where word won't get around. Every person in every house has worked countless hours to welcome you. No house wants a pompous behind. NONE...word WILL get around. Last year there were some girls that got no bids. Do not let your attitude defeat your progress.
