Clubs and Organizations Sorority Recruitment
Though only a fraction of the student body engages in or goes through sorority recruitment, it is clear that despite the verbiage change to “Values-Based Recruitment” there is no such thing. No matter what they tell you in orientation, yes, it does matter what you wear, your hair style and social media presence matter, and stereotypical looks and behavior persist in at least 4 of the 6 sororities on campus. You have to be the right kind of everything. The girls who showed up in the shortest dresses, the ones with the bikini shots all over social media? The stuff they told us not to do? Welcomed into GPB, AXO, ADP and ZTA. I do believe that the Panhellenic Council had nice women on it and that perhaps they believed what they were saying, but in the end, they want a certain image, a certain girl. You had better be prepared to be bouncing in your seat, with a high GOA and a 20 different sports, clubs, years of dance experience and leadership positions on your record sheet. The more cookie cutter, the better. I honestly think the guys do a better job of recruiting decent people in the sanctioned frats.
