Southern Methodist University
PONY UP!
August 28-September 3, 2024
Southern Methodist is elite.
Greek life at SMU is a tight-knit community. SMU is extremely competitive and has approximately over 950 potential new members that go through Panhellenic recruitment (spring 2024 numbers) so you need to stand out. While you can join without knowledge of the system, it is very difficult without some guidance.
SMU is switching to primary recruitment Fall 2024. This will change their overall process to align more with other campuses.

INFO You MUST KNOW
Recruitment does NOT start in August!
Sororities start looking at potential new members and making lists as soon as January and you need to do your best to get on their radar as soon as you commit to SMU!
At TAMU, Rec Letters are REQUIRED
Letters of recommendation or Recruitment Information Forms (RIFs) are essential to getting the recruitment team to know who you are. Even if you don’t know a member of the chapter, you still should obtain these. Reach out to older family members and friends who have attended college and their network. Ask teachers and coaches as well. You don’t know who may have been a member or knows someone.
GPA’s Matter
Your high school GPA and transcript will help determine how many chapters you will be eligible to see each round. The suggested minimum GPA to go through recruitment is 3.2 (if yours is lower, DEFINITELY reach out to me so we can get a plan worked up for you.) Each chapter has its minimum and that will affect who is invited back each round.
Deadlines are critical!
Make sure you are keeping track of all the deadlines so things do not fall through the cracks!
June 1st, 2024, recruitment opens. Do NOT wait to get your materials together. You will be panicked and it will reflect in how you come off.
You need a Social Resume
This is not your mom’s resume. This is a reflection of your social and academic achievements. You are not applying for a job. This should highlight your character attributes.
Take Your Video Seriously
This should be the truest you. You only get one shot to make that first impression to show the members your personality. Use this to your advantage. Make sure they remember you.
Keep Up Your Grades Through Graduation
Yes, I’m talking about your GPA again. It is that important. Just because you got into college doesn’t mean you should slack in those last couple of classes. Even 0.1 drop in your GPA could be the difference of getting dropped from your favorite house!

Start collecting now! Do your best to get all the chapters you can. If you can’t get a specific organization, make sure to have a teacher/coach write a letter of your character.
You don’t need to be on social media, but if you have it, make sure it is cleaned up. And they WILL find your account no matter how far hidden you have it.
You need to make a great impression. Take your time and rehearse your video. You get one shot to make that first impression. Panhellenic has video prompts to help you answer.
Don’t Forget Something!
The Sorority Success Academy's course goes beyond the OOTDs and trends on TikTok to give you real information on how to navigate the rush process.
Learn the system of how recruitment works from both a sorority standpoint and a PNM and how to use it to your benefit to get your bid.
If you are only looking for rush outfits or what to have in your rush bag, this will not be the course for you. This is learning the actual process college Panhellenics use to select members.
