resumes

Hi everyone! I'm going to be a freshman next year and I was wondering how much emphasis do sororities place on extracurricular activities? I have a high GPA and did a lot of volunteer work but I wasn't super involved at my school since I worked two jobs. Will this hurt me during rush? Thanks!!

Each chapter is different in regard to what they are looking for. Having a strong extracurricular résumé is certainly helpful but a strong GPA is a must for our top academic houses. You're rec letters and personality will play a strong part to. Do give recruitment a try and be open minded to the groups that ask you back. It may be a little harder for you but not impossible.

Be ready to talk about all the volunteer work you did, why you liked it, what you learned and things like that. Also if your jobs were unique or interesting, try to have some stories about those too. Just keep it light and fun.

Each house looks for different things. I like this persons advice. Strong grades and volunteer work will be appealing to some chapters. Be prepared to talk up your strong attributes.

A strong GPA and volunteer work is appealing ( especially to academically focused groups). Competition will be tough for everyone so just play up your strengths and be polite, polished and positive to each person you speak to in every house. If you are open minded and do all the above you should be fine.

^^^ Me: good advice. Not having a lot of extracurricular involvement can be overcome if your GPA and volunteer work is stellar.

list the two jobs you worked....I for one, find it interesting when someone has worked (for a pay check), shows a lot of real life experience that will help after graduation.
