10 Tips for Girls going to Texas Tech from an active:

1. Get recommendation letters! For some reason if you talk to sororities during orientation they tell everyone "recommendation letters are no longer encouraged or necessary for recruitment." But I know for a fact that some houses won't even offer you a bid without a letter. Also, some people claim that you can't have an active write one for you, but actually actives are preferred. And the more letters, the better your chances.

2. Sign up in June because the fee increases throughout the summer. (gogreek.ttu.edu) 

3. Tech has their PNMs wait outside each house in the hot West Texas summer heat. So personal mini fans and extra deodorant/ make up is a MUST! 

 4. All of our houses have PNMs sit with actives extremely close so breath mints (not gum!) is very nice. 

 5. The houses are just as hot as it is outside so oil blotting sheets would probably be useful too.

 6. Although the recruitment website gives outfit suggestions such as dress pants or a cute summer skirt, dresses are the safer bet. 

7. On the first day of dresses the outfit is more something along the line of a classy Sunday brunch with your grandma. The second dressy day is more of slightly dressier or slightly more business looking. For pref night, the cocktail dresses shouldn't be revealing or too sparkly/ prom attire. 

8. It helps if the girls write down the names of who rushed them from their favorite houses so that they know some actives on bid day (how I met my big). 

9. If a PNM isn't the best at talking with strangers, an interesting accessory with a story to tell is a great way to get a genuine conversation going. 

10. Don't be stressed if you go back to a house you have already cut. Even if you cut a house, if a house doesn't cut you back, you can still be sent there the next day.
