Frequently Asked Questions

  • Formal sorority recruitment (also called rush) is the structured process through which colleges and universities match Potential New Members (PNMs) with NPC Panhellenic sororities. The process typically runs over several days and includes multiple rounds — Open House, Philanthropy, Sisterhood, and Preference — with cuts happening between each round until Bid Day, when girls receive a bid to join a chapter.

  • If you are wanting to secure a coach the earlier the better so you can get a slot. Key preparation steps like building a sorority resume, securing letters of recommendation, and connecting with chapters all take time. At highly competitive schools like UT Austin, Alabama, Ole Miss, (to name a few) chapters begin forming impressions well before formal recruitment begins.

  • A sorority resume (also called a rush resume or PNM resume) is a one-page document that shares your academic record, extracurricular activities, community involvement, family Greek affiliations, and personal highlights. Many sororities will review the resume before or even during recruitment. A strong resume helps chapters remember a PNM and gives rec writers a document to reference when writing recommendations.

  • Letters of recommendation (recs) are written on behalf of a PNM by an alumna of a specific sorority who can speak to the girl's character and qualifications. Recs are submitted before formal recruitment begins. At many schools — particularly large SEC and Big 12 programs — recs are considered valuable even if not required. A PNM without recs at a competitive school may get the sorority’s attention much later in the process.

  • A PNM video is a short video where you introduce yourself and answer the prompt given to you. The video is submitted to the sorority chapters in advance of formal recruitment. Not all schools require them, but at schools like Arkansas and Alabama just to name a few they are a standard part of the process. A strong video is polished, personal, and gives chapters a reason to want to meet you. A weak or generic video can hurt your chances before recruitment even begins.

  • After each round, chapters submit their invitation lists to Panhellenic, and PNMs submit their preference lists. A matching algorithm is used to determine who will attend each sororities parties. The decisions are made mutually — it is not simply a sorority rejecting a girl. Understanding how this process works helps PNMs make smarter decisions each round.

  • Bid Day is the final day of formal recruitment, when you receive a bid —the official invitation to join a sorority. It is typically a celebration, with new members running to meet their chapter for the first time as official members. On Bid Day most girls wear white or black bottoms so they don't clash with their new chapter's color shirt.

  • A sorority recruitment coach helps girls prepare for every stage of the recruitment process. This includes building a strong sorority resume, helping secure the right letters of recommendation, preparing for conversations with chapter members, understanding how the invitation process works, and developing the confidence to present themselves strategically. A good coach also helps girls manage the emotional ups and downs of a process that can be stressful and unpredictable.

  • Coaching is not required, but it gives girls a smart support team— especially at large, competitive schools. Most PNMs have never been through recruitment before and don't know what chapters are actually looking for, how decisions are made, or what separates a strong candidate from an average one. A coach brings that knowledge. Find Your Letters coaches have over 25 years of combined active experience in sorority recruitment.

  • The sorority experience is not a four-year investment — it's a lifelong one. Once a woman is initiated into a NPC sorority, she carries that membership for life. She can’t join another NPC chapter, which means the chapter she finds on Bid Day & then is initiated into is her chapter forever. That matters more than most families realize going in.

    The connections made through Greek life don't end at graduation. Move to a new city and you'll find sisters from other chapters of your sorority who can introduce you to their network, their neighborhood, their people. Navigate a new job market and those same connections open doors. Hit the empty nest stage and your sorority gives you an instant community of women who share your values and your history. For a membership that follows her everywhere she goes — through career moves, young families, new cities, and every stage of life after college — the investment in getting recruitment right is one of the most meaningful a family can make. Find Your Letters coaches bring 25+years of recruitment experience to help your daughter find not just a sorority, but the right one for who she is and who she's becoming.

  • No coach can guarantee a bid — and any coach who insinuates otherwise should raise a red flag. Every NPC Panhellenic sorority makes its own individual membership selections at the chapter level. What a coach can do is maximize your daughter's preparation, positioning, and confidence so she enters recruitment. Find Your Letters LLC does not guarantee bid outcomes.

  • Find Your Letters coaches one-on-one via Google Meet — live, face-to-face sessions with real conversation, real feedback, and a real relationship. We are not a video course. We are not a library of pre-recorded content you watch on your own time and hope applies to your situation.

    Every girl we work with is different. Different school, different background, different strengths, different nerves. Our coaching is built around her — not a script, not a checklist, not a one-size-fits-all program. We get to know each client personally, which means the guidance she gets is specific to who she is and where she's rushing.

    Sessions via Google Meet offers flexibility to schedule around your life. No recordings, no modules, no guessing whether the advice applies to your daughter. Just focused, experienced, one-on-one coaching.
