5 Essentials for Sorority Recruitment

To all the girls going through rush next month: first of all, try not to freak out! I know I did this time last year. I was so excited but so overwhelmed by picking out all my outfits and adjusting to a brand new lifestyle. It's such a fun experience, especially if you come prepared! Here are a few things I wish I had when I went through that you should pack.

1. A colorful ribbon or piece of string 
This sounds really random, I know. But you're given a drawstring bag identical to everyone else's! In order to find yours among the large piles, bring something to tie around it to distinguish it so you can find it quickly and get to the next event. 

2. Mattifying face powder
The heat in South Carolina is so, so real. While a shiny face is inevitable, a little powder doesn't hurt. The Make Up For Ever HD Powder is totally worth the splurge. It comes with a lot of product and mattifies even the oiliest skin for a long time.

3. Face mist
This will help you cool down when you're waiting to go inside a house. If you get one that smells nice (like this rosewater version), you won't have to keep spraying your perfume and it'll provide a light, fresh scent instead of something heavy.

4. Comfortable shoes...even when that round calls for heels
You will be walking A LOT. Even when you are wearing heels one round, bring some sandals or even sneakers to walk back and forth in. I promise your feet will thank you. I got horrible blisters even from just wearing sandals, so also don't wear the same sandals twice if you can.
(The pair of sandals I'm linking is a pair I saw on a customer at work the other day. I think they're to die for!)

5. Hair supplies
You need just about everything; hairbrush, hair spray and a little product to tame frizz will all help fight humidity. My favorite thing is the Garnier Fructis glossing spray. Also bring extra bobby pins and hair ties just in case.

I hope this helps when you're packing your bags and I hope you enjoy recruitment!

xoxo, Katie
