DON'T WRITE A BURN BOOK
Are you looking at sororities’ Instagrams and trying to picture yourself in that sorority? Have you made a list of the sororities you want to join? Or, a list of the sororities you don’t want to join?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, you are writing a sorority recruitment burn book! Burn book? Like from the movie Mean Girls?
Yes! Let me explain.
When you write a recruitment burn book, you eliminate yourself from getting a bid to certain sororities. You might be thinking, “Wait… what? How am I eliminating my chances?” Your mindset of being too good or not good enough for a sorority will minimize your options.
Example. You hear a rumor about a sorority. Then, you tell yourself, “I DO NOT want to be in that sorority!!” When you walk into the sorority, you will be closed off. Your answers will be one-word.
Do you know what the members are going to think?
You do not want to be there. When the members vote on you, they give you a bad score.
What if these rumors are false? What if it is a great sorority? What if it is your dream sorority?
You never know because you sabotaged your chances of getting a bid there.
How TO not let the rumors sabotage your experience
I am going to let you in on a secret. Every sorority has a similar experience. All the sororities have sisters who hang out with fraternities and go to parties and sisters who do not. They all have philanthropy events. They all have sisterhood events.
If you want to find your dream sorority, you have to change your mindset. Think of it this way. In 20 years, the name of the sorority will not matter. You want to leave college with friends and memories.
How to make real connections
You want to go into sorority recruitment with an open mind makes sorority recruitment a lot easier! It allows you:
to see the sorority members for who they are
to make genuine connections
to be your most authentic self
to find your dream sorority!
Do Youtube and tiktok help you stand out during sorority recruitment?
When you depend on Youtube and TikTok for advice, you prepare like everyone else. When you look like everyone else, you do not stand out. If a sorority can only invite back 30% of all PNMs, how will you show them that you deserve to be in the top 30%?

You have a math test in two weeks that is worth 90% of your grade for the class. You want to get an A. You are looking for guidance on how to get your A.
First, you ask a friend, not in your math class, “How do I get an A+ on my test?” She says, “You need to study.” This answer leaves you frustrated.
Then, you ask your teacher, “How do I get an A+ on my test?” She gives you a step-by-step plan.
Who was more helpful?
Your teacher, right?
To get an A, you need to know the right information and have a step-by-step plan.
To get a bid to a sorority you love, you have to communicate you are the right fit for the sorority before and during sorority recruitment. A step-by-step plan tells you how and when to communicate.
BUT… why do so many women going through sorority recruitment ONLY use the advice they find on Youtube and TikTok? Does it help them stand out and get a bid?
