Recruitment Tips Outside Of The Recruitment Rooms!

Hi everybody!

 

I know it has been extremely too long since I last posted on here, so sorry! :(

 

BUT, to make it up I want to post about something that should be totally useful at this point in time in your sorority! Recruitment! Everyone is always giving tips on how to step up your game during your intrest parties, which is super important, but about 50% of your recruitment really happens outside of those rooms! So here are 3 very important tips that help you go a long way!

 

 

1) First of all, lets talk about appearance! You cannot expect girls to be just thrilled to join your AWESOME sorority if you go out looking like a hot mess straight from greasyville!! You can still wear your totally cute letters with your darling norts, but please have full make up and hair done! Its a simple balancing rule really, if you have a tshirt on, you need extra cute hair, if you have a super cute outfit on (you should have super cute hair still) but you can slack on the hair a litte bit! Everyone looks at your appearances, if you like it or not! Just pretent the hottest, cutest, hunk-iest southern sweetheart will be in every room you walk in when you get dressed for the few weeks recruitment is going on, I bet ya will look super cute all of a sudden!

 

2) Be the epitome of the Southern Girl. You need to wave to every girl you have ever made eye contact with and say "How Are You" or "You look soo cute today!". Who doesn't love a compliment and being noticed that day? If this is out of your comfort zone, then at least stick to the big smile and wave! Those pearly whites match your necklaces for a reason!

 

3) Let your status updates do all the talkin'. Let everyone know how much you just LOVEEE your sisters and how much fun you had last night with them! Show your pride in as many ways you can considering you never know what PNM's may see on your Facebook/Twitter compared to another sorority's status' and no one wants to joing a dramatic and depressing sorority!

 

 

Don't forget, Smile with your mouth, appearance, attitude, and status'!

 

xoxo,

Greek Tip: Where To Find Quality, But Reasonably Priced Sewn On Letter Shirts!

Hi Everyone! I made a recent discovery that I am beyond excited about! 

I have always wanted more and more stitched letter shirts (because, come on, who can have too many?). The only problem is that they tend to be pricey when you go to a website and design them. They always sound like its reasonable, until it charges you five dollars per letter to put a fabric on it or a background or you know, something you need. This is always frustrating, at least to me!

So I accidentally stumbled upon Custom Greek Shirts on Etsy.com! There are a few different people who will make your shirt, completely customized by you, for approximately $25 dollars! Some will even include embroidery under your letters! You can choose the fabric and thread colors! I haven't found one that does designer fabrics yet, but still for regular prints or plan colors, its a pretty good deal!

Check out the choices on by clicking the following link!

I hope you all find this useful! 

Cute Find Of The Week! {-Lilly iPhone Cases-}

First of all, Happy Friday!

I happened to come across these super cute and resourceful cases when I bought my iPhone yesterday! Not only are they just super cute, but some of them are so handy! They have card slots on the back of the case so you can keep your debit card, student I.D., money, driver's license, or whatever you may want to take with you without lugging around your wallet! I can't wait to get my hands on one of those!

Also, the sororities that have Lilly prints, there are cases with all of these gorgeous prints! (Soo Jealous!)

Here is the link, so check them out!

eBay Make Up Deals Of The Week For Every Southern Girl!

Honestly, I am addicted to eBay. I never realized how many deals and new items were actually on eBay until recently. Many people will either buy something, and get something free or there are wholesale sellers who then will sell the items cheaper. I have also heard rumor that some companies will post items on eBay a bit cheaper to gain more sales over all. 

So I have chosen some great choices for top rated beauty products that are GREAT deals. I have included the eBay pictures and link so you can go bid/buy it now if you wish!

Lot Of Clinque Make Up Remover, Moisturizer, Cleanser, 1 OPI Nail Polish, and 3 China Glaze Nail Polishes.

All of these items are obviously in a bundle and were not bought together, but as it states in the description, the seller found all of these unused and unopened! If you buy this individually they are much more expensive. If you cant this at the end of the auction, you could practically be stealing it!

Urban Decay Naked Eye Shadow Palette! (Original)

This is the original Urban Decay "Naked" eye shadow palette. It had great reviews and was very popular. So popular that they actually made a second one (which is below). These colors are long lasting and also there are many YouTube videos of great ways to use all these colors! 

This palette typically runs for $50 but on eBay a brand new one is $29.99 exactly!

Urban Decay Naked 2 Eye Shadow Palette!

This obviously is the second version of the Naked collection. (To view the colors, go to Urban Decay Naked 2). I know someone personally who bought this and loved it! It is a $50 value on the Urban Decay website, but on eBay you can buy it for $32.50!

Urban Decay All Nighter Spray!

This spray is supposed to make your make up last all day or all night! We have all had those times we really want our make up to look good for a very long period of time, but it rarely ever happens! This is supposed to keep you looking fresh all night long! Many people love it, so it much be good! It's typically a $30 value, but on eBay you could get it as low as 12 dollars! The highest would be 15! Still exceptional deals!

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Mascara!

This product on eBay is just a little bit cheaper than you would find it in stores or online. It is a fabulous lengthening, volumizing, and curling mascara! 

Revlon Color Stay Foundation!

This is a link to just one example of the Revlon Color Stay Foundation, but I will say, there are many other choices on the "Buy It Now" portion of eBay. These are much, much, much cheaper than buying it in the store! It has been a top reviewed foundation that is definitely affordable!

Other items/suggestions to look up on eBay:

MAC Eye Pigments

Samples Of Products You Want To Try

Names Of Products You Like (Ex. Urban Decay or China Glaze)

eBay has products you wouldn't even think about! Take some time and look around it!

Lilly Pulitzer Agendas!

Every woman has plenty of dates to remember, parties to attend, and social gatherings to plan, but a sorority woman has that plus classes, homework, recruitment, chapter, philanthropy events, and the list never ends! How do you keep up with all of this in an easy and fun way? With one of the new Lilly Agendas, of course! There are plenty of patterns to choose from and sizes as well!

If you have never ordered one of these, they may seem like they are all the same because the pictures do make them look similar. The sizes of each one are really different & have different things with them depending on the size. 

The Jumbo is the newest addition of the year and actually has notebook paper in it along with the agenda. I am excited to get the Jumbo this year considering the notebook paper in the back would be amazing for taking notes during my meetings! This agenda also includes the super cute stickers to help spice up yours planner!

Jumbo Size Agenda!

The Large Agenda is the one I have bought previously to this year. I loved everything about it! It, along with the Jumbo, both have a month calender plus the individual day pages so you have plenty of room to right down events or assignments needed to be mentioned! The stickers are included with this one as well! Also, this makes for a really good size that is easy to carry and take!

Large Agendas!

The Small Agenda is just a smaller version of the Large Agenda. It is smaller and better for carrying in purses or side pockets of your tote! Still super cute and versatile! 

Small Agenda!

The monthly planner has just one year in it unlike the previous planners that have a year and a half in them. This is still a very cute planner that is handy for a year.

Monthly Planner!

The Soft Cover agenda is for the girl on the go! It is made very similar to the Large Agenda, but much lighter for your heavy carrying load!

Soft Cover 2013 Agenda!

Be sure to check out all of the agendas on the Lilly Pulitzer website! Click the links I have provided to check out pricing and patterns! There are multiple patterns available for each one! The price you pay is very worth the beautiful planner you will have!
