Are you Recruitment Ready?

Recruitment Ready helps high-school girls and their mothers prepare for the sorority recruitment process at universities across the country. We offer private 1-1 sessions, style sessions, resume curation, online courses for success and much more.

We focus on who young girls are becoming as confident women in the process of working with us along the way. From what to say during sorority recruitment, what not to say, how to navigate social media and more, we give genuine care to our girls in each stage of the preparation process.

While, our business is primarily focused on sorority recruitment preparation, we also offer separate mentorship and etiquette 1-1 sessions for girls starting as young as freshman year, too! I am very passionate about equipping young girls to become the best, confident version of themselves while learning life skills during our time together.

1. Be yourself and be genuine. You don’t have to become someone you are not to get into a sorority. Be true to who you are and the right chapter will be made clear to you!
2. Pack a “week of rush bag” to bring with you each day of recruitment. In your bag pack a personalized fan to keep you cool, breathe mints, oil blotters, lip stick and a journal for notes in between parties. Most large SEC schools conduct recruitment in the August heat. It’s important to stay cool, calm and collected so that you can focus on doing your best!
3. Do not listen to stereotypes of chapters ahead of time. Most stereotypes are outdated or based on subjective opinion. Go in with an open mind and enjoy meeting new people, gaining new experiences, and making new college memories right from the beginning. The process seems long in the moment, but it will soon pass and you will have just embarked on such a fun four years ahead.

I was the social chair for my sorority at Auburn University and some of my favorite memories come from enjoying social events that I spent so much time planning and putting hard work into. It’s not easy hosting events for over 400 people as a college student, but I am grateful for the opportunity it gave me. I learned how to work hard, stay organized, plan ahead and host large events that I was very proud of. It was so much fun!

Another favorite memory comes from the events our chapter hosted to raise awareness for our philanthropy. My chapter’s philanthropy was Make-a-Wish and it was so rewarding to host events that raised money and awareness for such a worthy cause. We got to first-hand the impact our fundraising efforts were directed and I was constantly reminded of the positive result that can come from women working together for a greater good.

1. Almost every University requires girls to wear a Panhellenic t-shirt during their recruitment week. It can be hard to make a t-shirt look cute, but Canvas Style has the perfect solution for upgrading the look! I would pair a statement earring for this round to stand out for success. The Claire Raffia Flower Pearl Drop Earrings would be perfect for this t-shirt round! 
2. Another outfit idea that would be perfect for sorority recruitment is a sun dress for sisterhood round paired with the Jeanie Flower with Pearl drop earrings. I recommend girls wear a pop of color when they are picking their dresses to wear for recruitment and these adorable earrings would complement the look perfectly!
3. Preference round is the last round before bid day. It’s the most formal round of recruitment and requires a cocktail dress and heels. I would pair the Renee Resin and Rhinestone hoop earrings (in any color) with this formal look. It would be the perfect way to represent yourself in a cute, classy and confident way to make a memorable statement in the best of ways!
