It's actually really dark in my room right now, but I am so pale that it doesn't matter. What's up, Watchers?
It's JordanThatblondegirl back with some more advice. Around this time last year,
I made an advice video for girls going through recruitment for the first time - which you can watch if you click right up there.
But, this time, I'm making advice for people doing the recruiting.
Maybe you were a spring baby that has no idea how formal recruitment works or you're like me and had no idea how to be
the put-together goddess that you talked to during your own recruitment. Regardless,
here are my tips to make recruitment go smoothly as a sister.
First, you're a vice president of membership, recruitment chair, or whoever's in charge of putting on recruitment as a whole should
fully train you to the specifics of how your chapter recruits. My sorority has a Vice President of Membership, a girl named Kiana,
and she has trained us how to walk in the room,
what songs were going to sing. and how to talk to the more..quiet people. Find your chapter's Kiana and talk with her. Okay,
it's literally this person's job to make sure recruitment goes as smoothly as possible. So, they should want to help you.
That's the first thing you should know, but my first piece of advice is to be comfortable.
Make sure your recruitment outfit *actually*
fits you and always choose function over fashion when it comes to what shoe you're going to wear.
Our recruitment is only three days long so it's not that intense, but the days go on forever.
Feeling comfortable just makes you a more pleasant person
and so the experience goes a lot more smoothly when you're not wearing something that feels like saran wrap. In the same sort of notion,
I recommend bringing your
comfiest PJs. Your night is not over when the last PNM leaves. You have to vote who comes back the next day and,
if you're at a big university, that can take a really long time. Now, for that long time,
I also recommend bringing it a light blanket. Not necessarily because you'll be cold,
but because it's nice to have something to sit on or to wrap around your shoulders when you finally get out of your recruitment clothes.
Now, the operative word here is 'light' because, if you bring something really bulky,
that's something that you have to carry around and store and it's really just not worth it.
So, maybe leave the sleeping bag at home?
Now, your day is going to be long and, if it's anything like my recruitment,
you don't have a lot of downtime. So, just don't bring home work or leisure reads or anything like that.
I would recommend bringing a phone charger or extra battery, though. I also recommend bringing something so you can handwrite your notes.
We're not allowed to have our phones during because it's a privacy thing,
but we need a way to remember what we did and didn't like about a person that we talk to so hand written notes are
definitely the way to go.
It might not seem like it but recruitment is a really strenuous activity and it goes hard on your body. You more or less need
to prepare for a marathon. I'm talking to snacks high in protein and definitely make sure to hydrate.
We've had a few sisters almost pass out from dehydration
before because it's still the summer when we're recruiting and it's something super preventable.
So, please please PLEASE drink your water. We're all in college. We're all adults.
I shouldn't have to say this. But I'm going to. Clean up after yourself.
Maybe the chapters that actually have houses live in some magical world where they don't have to do that,
but for chapters like me that rent a room on campus, we get fined if we leave
anything in the room. At recruitment's end last year,
I picked up three dresses, a textbook, a fold-out mattress, and a Tupperware container
full of soup.
The girls who left these items added on an extra hour of time that I and several other people were dealing with recruitment.
Don't be a child; pick up your stuff. Now, earlier, I referred to something as a 'pnm'. That's an acronym for 'potential new member'.
I've also heard places calling them 'Rushies', but, whatever word you use to describe the unaffiliated going through recruitment,
don't say it's their face.
It's just kind of rude to call somebody a PNM and the reason that we still use the term is just conveying to a third
party, this is a girl that's not affiliated, but might become a sister. When you're talking to a girl,
it's your job to find out their name, what their interests, are what their values are, and all the stuff that turns them into a
person.
So, you take them from being
PNM number 304 and turn them into Emma, the PNM. I'll finish this with my other biggest piece of advice
which is don't worry about messing up. You're gonna go through some rigorous training but mistakes are going to happen.
The best part about it?
PNM's don't know the difference. Like if you walk into your room wrong, or you go to the wrong spot on the wall, just
commit. And correct if you can. And if you mess up enough for PNM to notice, then laugh it off.
I mean, really. you're only human and if they judge you for a tiny mistake, then you didn't want them as a sister
anyways. That's all the advice that I have,
but if you're interested in more Greek themed videos then I've got a playlist for you right about there.
And if you want something else, then here's a video that YouTube thinks that you'll like. And remember, everybody: trust the process.
Laters!
And it's really just - *Mom sneezes downstairs* -Damn, mom.
