Top Tips for Sorority Recruitment Success
1. Do Your Homework Early
UNC’s Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life provides resources and guidance to help you understand each chapter’s values, philanthropy, and culture. Start by exploring their website and attending pre-recruitment events to get a feel for the community.
2. Polish Your Personal Brand
Recruitment is about making genuine connections, but first impressions matter. Dress appropriately for each round, prepare a short intro about yourself, and be ready to talk about your interests and goals.
