Building Bonds!

Hello lovely,

Sorority recruitment isn’t just about finding the perfect sorority for you; it's also an amazing opportunity to make lifelong friendships. As you navigate the whirlwind of events and conversations, focus on building genuine connections with the fabulous women you meet. Whether you're a social butterfly or someone who tends to be more reserved, these tips will help you make friends and form meaningful bonds during sorority recruitment. You’ve got this!

Be Yourself: The most important thing you can do during recruitment is to be authentic. Don't try to be someone you're not or pretend to have interests that aren't genuine. People are drawn to authenticity, so let your true self shine through in your conversations and interactions.

Listen actively: It’s easy to get caught up in trying to impress others with your stories and accomplishments, but building friendships is a two-way street. Active listening is key! Take the time to truly listen to what the women you’re talking to have to say. Ask follow-up questions, show genuine interest, and make them feel heard and valued.

Find common ground: One of the easiest ways to connect with someone is to find common interests or experiences. Whether it’s a shared hometown, a favorite hobby, or a mutual love of a TV show, look for common ground to bond over. Finding similarities can help break the ice and create the start of a new friendship!

Be open-minded: Keep an open mind and be willing to step out of your comfort zone during recruitment. You may meet women from diverse backgrounds with different perspectives and interests. Embrace the opportunity to learn from others and expand your horizons. You never know where you might find your next great friend! 

First Impressions are Key: Making a great first impression is crucial to starting a new friendship off on the right foot, and your outfit can be a perfect conversation starter. Wear pieces that prompt compliments or spark conversations. A sparkly skirt, statement pearl earrings, or fabulous heels with a floral design can lead to chats about your style, favorite trends, shopping spots (Hello Molly, of course!), or your passion for fashion!

Trust the process: Finally, trust the recruitment process and have faith that you'll find the right sorority and the right group of friends for you. Recruitment can be overwhelming at times, but remember that everything happens for a reason. Stay true to yourself, keep an open heart, and trust that the bonds you form during recruitment will last a lifetime.

Sorority recruitment is an incredible opportunity to meet new people, form lasting friendships, and find your home away from home. By being yourself, listening actively, finding common ground, and following up with the women you connect with, you'll be well on your way to building meaningful bonds that will last long after recruitment is over.
