As we say goodbye to the last day in July, that means fall recruitment is only weeks away. For those campuses participating in fall recruitment, chapter members are finalizing plans to have a successful 2013 recruitment. All you have to do is sit back and relax.
Well...not really.
If you have not finalized the outfits you will be wearing, now is the time to do so. Things to remember:
- It will be hot and you will sweat so find items that will breathe and that will work with water.
- You will be walking a lot so find shoes that are comfortable.
- Your hair can be an asset or a deterrent. Think about how you will wear it on each day and have the correct products available to create your signature look. If you know you are a hair-messer-wither (and you know who you are) consider wearing it pulled back so your hands will not be tempted to touch your hair. (You know you do it when you are nervous.)
- Find accent jewelry that will enhance your outfit and might prompt conversation. You should wear the pieces; they should not wear you.
- Practice being hot. One advisor had great advice. "Get dressed up - makeup and everything - and then walk around outside during the hottest part of the day." Stay outside for several hours and see how you look and feel and possibly rethink your hair, makeup, attire.
If you visit your university and see someone in Greek letters, remember to put on that smile and introduce yourself (first & last name) and ask for any advice that person might have regarding the recruitment process.

And remember: It's not about the letters. It's about the girls.
