2nd Round Events
This is House Tour/Philanthropy Round. Potential new members will go on a tour of each chapter house and participate in a project to benefit each chapter's National or local philanthropy. Projects may include: making quilt squares to be assembled into blankets that will be given to the Stillwater Center for Domestic Violence, making cookies to donate to the Ronald McDonald House, making charm bracelets to give to the Make a Wish foundation, painting chairs for local schools, etc.
This is a good time to ask chapter members about philanthropy and community service requirements, scholarship requirements, campus involvement, intramural sports participation and financial obligations.
Suggested attire for this round: a little dressier than days one and two, but still casual, a sundress, pants, capris or a skirt and nice top, and comfortable shoes. |

3rd Round Events
This is Skit Round at Oklahoma State. Events are an hour long on this day, and the skit performances are fantastic. Participants will have conversations with chapter members about new member programs and retreats, sisterhood activities, and friendship.
*Important: Please remember to form opinions about chapters based on conversation and connections made rather than whether or not you liked the chapter's skit.
Suggested attire for this round: a little dressier again, wear a nice skirt and blouse or dress. |

4th Round Events
This is the final event round of recruitment, Preference Round. This is a more serious day in which potential new members will have deeper conversations with chapter members regarding chapter values and what chapter membership means to them.
Suggested attire for this round: attire is the dressiest of the week, a dress that you would wear to church or a wedding, you don't need a formal or cocktail dress.
*Important: It will be VERY hot and you will do A LOT of walking, so keep that in mind when you are selecting clothing and shoes for the week. If you want to wear heels or dress shoes, it is a good idea to bring flip-flops or comfortable shoes to wear between chapters so your feet don't hurt. It can be quite a distance between some chapter houses.
Also, please remember that you do not need to buy a new wardrobe to participate in recruitment at Oklahoma State! Please just be comfortable with what you wear. It is much more important to focus on the sorority experience and to have fun! |
