Written with love by Alina O'Donnell. Recruitment is a unique process for every single individual. Participating in Greek life offers the opportunity to meet new people and get more connected with your school. For transfer students, going Greek can help you adjust to your new environment while making lifelong friends. Going through recruitment as a transfer student is not without challenges, though.
Yes, any college woman, regardless of grade level may go through sorority recruitment as long as they:. At the end of the day it just matters who you are and how you connect with the women from each chapter. However, during the recruitment process you may feel out of place especially if everyone in your Pi Chi or Rho Gamma group are freshmen.
We even had one girl in my sorority, Gamma Phi Beta, go through continuous open bidding as a senior and then she graduated the following semester. But during her time she was able to find the perfect sorority family for her, get a little of her own, and experience every aspect of sorority life in just a year.
It would be so boring if every woman had the same recruitment and sorority experience. First of all, some sororities can be picky about which upperclassmen they chose because they really want to ensure the women they give a bid to will stay in the chapter the rest of their college career. It just means you need to work harder to stand out, while still being genuine and authentic at the same time. Second, prior to recruitment you may have had the opportunity to get to know and even befriend sorority women on campus.
And this could put you at an advantage or disadvantage during Rush depending if those relations are good or bad. So word to the wise… always be on your best behavior especially at college parties you know sorority women will be at. So for example, each sorority chapter at a university will take 50 freshmen and 50 upperclassmen into their newest pledge class. Instead, you just need standout amongst the other upperclassmen going through recruitment with you.
Need more insight? Familial connections through legacy status can boost your odds of getting into a house, but only up to a certain point. As a junior, legacy status may not pull the weight you think it should. Always put it in the system, though, because making your legacy status known never counts against you. The recruitment process relies heavily on your personality and how well it meshes with the young women in each house.

Choose your colors, have fun with your design and go digital today! Hi Kathy! For fall recruitment, we recommend putting together a sorority packet and beginning to gather letters of recommendation during the spring.
Packets can continue to be sent during the summer, and most sororities request that alumnae submit their recs by July. We do provide complete resume formatting as well as proofreading services! I was wondering as a timeline if you are rushing in the fall when should you get your soriety packet together?
