Dear Potential New Member,

Hey ladies!!! I am SO excited that you’ve made the life changing decision to go through recruitment! College is such a pivotal time in your life, and getting involved in Greek life can truly make it even more meaningful. Being a part of Delta Gamma has opened doors for me that I never imagined; giving me the opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself, grow as a leader, and create countless memories with girls who will stand by my side for a lifetime, not just these four years. I know this process can feel intimidating and even a little overwhelming at times, but I promise you, it is so worth it!! To help you prepare and feel confident here are a few tips!!!

First, and most importantly, keep an open mind. I know you’ve probably heard this a million times, but it truly makes all the difference. This experience will help shape your college journey, so make decisions based on what feels right to you, not anyone else. Try to set aside any preconceived ideas you may have heard about sororities or Greek life, and allow yourself to form your own opinions and connections. Second, take a deep breath and just be yourself. Every single one of us has been exactly where you are, and we understand the nerves that come with it! Remember, we are genuinely excited to get to know the real you. Focus on the conversations you’re having rather than worrying about whether your hair or outfit is perfect, what matters most is the connection you’re building. Our goal is to give you the best experience possible and help you find where you belong!!! Don’t let nerves distract you from finding your home, the place where you feel supported, comfortable, and truly yourself, not just somewhere that seems fun on Bid Day or that will make your freshman year memorable. The girls you meet in this new chapter of your life will be the ones standing along side you through all of the ups and downs of life. My last piece of advice is to soak in every moment! I remember knowing nothing about sororities and having no idea what to expect when rush started, but I immediately fell in love with the process!!! That week 3 years ago taught me so much about myself, and gave me the first opportunity to make a decision that was completely my own. I still look back on my freshman year recruitment week with so much gratitude for every girl I met and everything I experienced. My hope for you, is that you have the same feelings after you complete this process, knowing that you chose a house that was right for you and that you had fun while doing it!! You only get one recruitment, so make sure to enjoy it!!!! See you August!!

With love,
Allie Hendrickson
