Recruitment is a very important time for your campus’ Greek life as it is designed for prospective sorority members to explore different chapters and find their ideal fit. During this week, potential new members, or PNMs, participate in a series of events hosted by sororities, often starting with large group gatherings and narrowing down to more intimate meet-and-greets. Typical events include open houses, where PNMs learn about the sorority’s values, philanthropy, members, and activities, as well as invitation-only parties, which offer deeper interactions with current members.
The goal of recruitment is to find a group that’s compatible with your personality and morals, allowing you to form lifelong friendships while doing some good in the community. If you ask a sister, she’d probably tell you that she “found a place that feels like home,” and you will too.
How to Choose the Right Sorority Rush Dress
The choice of outfit during Recruitment Week can impact the impression you make on the members of the different chapters. Your outfit not only reflects personal style but also demonstrates respect for the occasion and an understanding of the process.

The perfect sorority rush dress can help you feel confident and have more fun, the most prominent ways to leave a lasting impression during the recruitment process!
