#TCURecruitment2015 Pointers

Recruitment is just around the corner and will be here before we know it! As you are packing and moving to Fort Worth, here are some pointers from our Rho Gammas (Recruitment Guides) for Do's and Don'ts of recruitment...

DO:

  • COME IN WITH AN OPEN MIND (no matter your background)...ALL sororities are wonderful!
  • HAVE FUN!
  • BE POSITIVE!
  • Sleep!
  • Look at who is going in to the chapters with you… they could give you an idea of who your future new member class could be.
  • Keep your schedule private. You don't want to compare your schedule to others or make others feel bad. 
  • Wash your shirt between day 1 and day 2.
  • Go with the chapter you feel like you can be you in and feel most comfortable.
  • Stay hydrated!!
  • It's okay to be emotional and ask questions.
  • You will find friends no matter what house you're in! Ignore your preconceived notions. 
  • Make a decision that's best for you - not what's best for anyone else!
  • Sorority women are just as nervous as you are!
  • Bring flip flops to walk from house to house!
  • Wear something you can be in the heat for 12 hours.
  • Ignore the gossip.
  • Make friends with girls in your group!!
  • Be nice to active members.
  • Trust in the system and in the process.
  • Be yourself (everyone else is already taken)!! 
  • Think about what you're most excited to see on your card every morning when making a decision.
  • Our Greek community is close. Be nice to everyone cause you never know what you say will get around to whom. 
  • You will find a place somewhere on campus where you feel like you belong, whether that is Greek or not! 
  • Go in ready to make friends and enjoy the experience!

DON'T:


  • Don't be afraid to talk to your Rho Gammas: they won’t spill secrets! Everyone is here to help make this process the best it can be for you.
  • Don’t have the assumption that any house is a given 
  • Don't stress about clothing 
  • Don't be afraid of sweat (everyone will)
  • Your sorority doesn't define who you are/ you can be friends with people not in your sorority
  • Don't take it too seriously by sweating the small stuff. It's supposed to be fun. 
  • Don't come in with a made up mind already
  • Don’t listen to the opinions/gossip of other PNMS. 
  • Don't be worried about upsetting your legacy family!
