Recruitment Counselors: Who They Are, How They Help
Upon registration for Recruitment, each potential new member is assigned a Recruitment Counselor (RC), based on her area of residence. Recruitment Counselors are upperclass sorority women who have chosen to disaffiliate from their sorority during the Recruitment period, in order be a trustworthy resource and source of aid for the women going through Recruitment. Since their sorority membership is unknown, potential new members should feel comfortable discussing their options and asking candid questions of their Recruitment Counselors.
Recruitment Counselors will usually oversee a group of approximately 15-20 women during Recruitment. For example, they may be assigned to a dorm hall or two dorm suites. RC's will meet with their advisees before and after each round, both to provide them with their schedules for the round and to offer guidance to the women. The group aspect of going through Recruitment with other women that you live with lends its own atmosphere of support and camaraderie to the entire process.
You should feel free to ask RC's any questions your have before, during, or after Recruitment. They are there to help. All of the Recruitment Counselors have gone through the Recruitment process themselves and have many more sorority experiences to share.
