Paige’s recruitment tips:
- Do whatever will make you feel the most confident and happy! If asking a member a certain question will help you feel more comfortable in your decision, ask it! If wearing a unique and different dress will make you more confident and comfortable, wear it! This process is really about making sure your needs and desires are fulfilled.
- Keep an open mind. While it is easy to be drawn to chapters girls in your recruitment group or friends like, do not focus on that. It is important that you choose a chapter that is the best fit for you!
- Trust the process. I know that you will hear this a million times, but there is a reason for that. I know that recruitment can be a tiring and stressful week, but it has proven to work so well over the years. Be patient and remember everything will happen how it is supposed to.
- Really take time to reflect on what you value in your life and friendships. It is important that you join a chapter that is able to give you lifelong support and care. So while you feel you may be making a decision that will affect your college life, you're actually making a decision that will impact the rest of your life (which is so exciting)!
- Make friendships! You will have the opportunity to meet hundreds of women who come from all different places, majors, and eventually chapters! This is such an amazing time to make friends and that is something I wish I did more of when going through the process.
