10 Recruitment Tips!

Dear Potential New Member,

Recruitment is always an eventful time for sororities. It's arguably the most important time of the year. With all the activities going on, it can seem a bit overwhelming. But it can also be fun, and less stressful with a few helpful hints from the women of Alpha Xi Delta:

1. Wear Flip Flops Between Parties. The days will be long, and especially on Thursday during House Parties, your feet are going to hurt after wearing your heels. Wear comfortable shoes while you walk from one house to another. Stash them in some bushes outside the house before you head in and don't forget to grab them on the way out!

2. Ask Questions. Yes, you will be asked countless questions at each party, but it's important to ask them too! Asking questions shows that you are interested and it helps you learn more about a certain chapter.

3. Stay Healthy. Recruitment week is a long one! Make sure you get plenty of sleep, eat filling, healthy meals and drink lots of water. It'll be hot outside, so taking simple steps to keep up your energy will help.

4. Meet As Many People As You Can. Obviously you'll meet tons of people during the week.  Getting to know multiple members of a chapter can help you get a better sense of that house. At the same time, get to know some other potential new members. By meeting some new people, it'll help a big campus feel smaller once you see a familiar face.

5. Show Off Your Own Style. Each chapter is interested in getting to know you. So show off your funky heels or those cute earrings you've been dying to wear. Clothing is a great way to express your personality in a nonverbal way.

6. Go In With An Open Mind. We all know the stereotypes surrounding the Greek Community. But what is most important is keeping an open mind. You might be surprised by what you find!

7. Enjoy Yourself. It's important that you feel comfortable in your surroundings. Recruitment is important, and joining a chapter is a big part of your college career, but it's important to have a good time. Don't stress. Everything happens for a reason. 

8. Smile. As cheesy as it sounds, your best accessory is your smile. 

9. Take A Deep Breath. Whenever things begin to feel overwhelming, take a breath. It'll help you feel a little less stressed and better focused.

10. Realize Your Potential. As Alpha Xi Deltas, we strive to realize our potential on campus, in class and in our communities. Regardless of what chapter you join, it's always great to be the best you can be.
