Following are some of the standard questions that sorority actives might ask you during recruitment. These are prompts to start a conversation with you. Expand on the conversation, the girls are trying to get to know you and will be unable to do so if you do not talk! The questions will get more serious as recruitment progresses.

The questions below are suggested by former and current sorority actives. Have a few questions to ask at every party in case the conversation lags. These are open-ended questions to spur on conversation! Asking for information lets sorority members know that you are interested and allows you to receive information for your decision.
