Dear Diary, How to Make a Recruitment Survival Kit




It’s the most wonderful time of the year- sorority recruitment! Some hate it, but I love the entire rush experience- from day one of skit rehearsal to three weeks later standing on the lawn on bid day. It’s so much better from the other side as a member, but it’s a lot of work! Recruitment is a marathon – not a sprint. So how’s a girl supposed to survive the grueling process? A little love from your mom, a lot of support from your sisters and the perfect survival kit! This one came from came in the mail from one of my favorite sisters (miss you Emmi!) during my first recruitment on the other side and it was a lifesaver! Of course you could add anything you'd like but here is what was in my box:

  • Magazines for downtime
  • Cute sorority-themed trinkets for your new room
  • Tumbler to hydrate (with sassy straws)
  • Candy to share with your sisters
  • Crystal Light to keep you going (caffeine and electrolytes for a bonus)
  • Cough Drops for your voice
  • Oil sheets to keep your face shine-free all day
  • Advil for after rehearsals
  • Nutella for when you just need a delicious break
  • Mints if you need a pick-me-up between parties


Getting this in a box was such a sweet work week surprise so if there’s a friend or sister in your life who’s going through the member side of recruitment for the first, second, or third time think about sending them a survival kit of their own!

XOXO
