Participating in the
recruitment process is a great
way to meet the members,
learn more about the
organizations and determine
if fraternity and sorority life is
for you.” - Executive Director

HOW TO BE A WINNING RECRUIT
Pat Grant, founder of Rush Biddies, offered this advice to young women
preparing to go through sorority recruitment.
PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD You want the doors to open for you so
you have more options to find that good personality fit.
CREATE A SOCIAL RESUME (different from your scholarship or job resume)
that includes everything you did and were a part of in high school and answers the
question, “What can you bring to the table for this organization?”. A social resume is
really a big brag sheet.
GET YOUR SOCIAL RESUME TO ALUMS who will write you
recommendations, called “recs.” They are important, especially on large campuses
where it is easy to get lost in the shuffle during recruitment.
