actual recruiting process

you need to relax.

lmao chill. i'll assume you're talking about sorority rush? during formal recruitment before you enter a house you will be lined up alphabetically by last name with about 100 or so other girls for that round. as you walk into the house the girls will be lined up and can see your name tag and will shout "hi welcome to ..." and whatnot. in every house a girl will be matched to talk to you. the majority of the matches are pretty random, but some houses try to match girls who are from similar areas, and if you're a highly sought after pnm you'll be matched with some of the "better" or more important girls in the sorority. the actives have a pretty set list of questions to ask you so there isn't much you have to come up with on the spot in terms of trying to keep a conversation going. unless you're a highly sought after pnm the actives will not know things about you off the top of their heads and even if they did they wouldn't bring it up because thats weird... they will all literally ask you where you're from even though it's clearly stated on your name tag lol. you will probably talk to between 1-3 girls, one at a time, each round. the amount of actives who talk to you does not correlate to how much a house wants you though - sometimes it just works out that more actives talk to you in one house and not another. tbh during rush you will find yourself repeating yourself a lot. all the questions actives ask are literally the same and are very basic. good luck!

For every round, you will be placed into a group that will be entering the house. You will be lined up alphabetically by last name on the porch of the house and you will listen to the sorority's door song. Then one by one you will enter the house and as you're walking in actives are lined up on each side of the hallway or whatever and will be shouting and welcoming you into their house. In ever house an active is assigned to pick you up when you walk in and begin the conversation, so you don't need to worry about finding an active. Also in every house you're given a drink. The active will bring you into one of the rooms in the house and you'll either be standing, sitting on a chair/couch, and in later rounds you'll also be sitting on the floor. Some houses have it set up so if an active takes you into a certain room it means they either really want you or don't want you, but you won't know which rooms mean what. Depending on the house 1-4 girls will talk to you. As you're talking to one active another one will come up and she'll introduce herself and the active you were just talking to will say goodbye and walk away. After the round is finished someone will tap the active's shoulder and then she'll proceed to get you up and bring you back outside. Again, girls are lined up in the hallways shouting and whatnot. The active will walk you to the door and then say goodbye and you will be lined up again to listen to the closing door song.
