In my case fall term doesn't start for two more months but if you're not on the west coast and starting super late fall recruitment is probably either already happening for you or happening very soon. Maybe it is your little or grandlittle's first time being on the other side of the craziness that is recruitment. If you want to help them out then think about crafting them something special, a recruitment survival kit. Check out these tips to get started.
1. Travel size makeup, chapstick, perfume, and beauty essentials can be a cute and cheap thing to include.
2. Relaxation essentials like chocolate bars, magazines, snacks, books sorority themed or otherwise are key for breaks between house tours or prepping for events.
3. Summer essentials are helpful if you live in a state where it's still super hot during recruitment. Include things like blotting sheets, fans, makeup remover wipes, water bottles, deodorant, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
4. Include emergency essentials like a sewing kit, a compact mirror, safety pins, band-aids, and feminine hygiene products, double stick tape, a lint brush, and nail polish remover.
5. Stay minty fresh and energized by packing a Starbucks coffee drink, energy drink, caffeinated chocolate bar, energy bar, Advil, cough drops mints, and gum.
6. If you can find a cute and cheap pair of flats include those too because you never know when your sister will want to swap her heels out for them instead.
7. If you have an outdoor recruitment event pack your sister a mini-umbrella and maybe even a poncho just in case the worst occurs.
8. Don't forget you may want to write things down or remember them so keep scissors, pencils, pens, and a notepad on hand to do so.
9. Remember things may get emotional or just tiring so don't forget to pack tissues and maybe even a gift card to your favorite place to eat, pamper, and relax for when all the craziness does finally end.
10. And finally keep your sorority and their ideals at the forefront by including some type of sorority sugar whether it is a stuffed animal of your mascot, a tee you want to pass down, or some other cute decoration.
Good luck with recruitment everyone!
