Sorority Recruitment: The "5 B's" You Must Avoid Discussing

A recent online video by Caitlin Dalton, a former sorority president, offers critical advice for prospective members navigating the often-complex sorority recruitment process. Dalton outlines what she refers to as the "5 B's" – five topics that should be strictly avoided during recruitment conversations. According to Dalton, these forbidden subjects are Boys (fraternities), Booze (alcohol and partying), Bible (religion), Bucks (finances), and Barack/Biden (politics). She explains that while these topics may be relevant in other contexts, discussing them during recruitment is inappropriate and could negatively impact a candidate's chances. For instance, questions about fraternities or parties are irrelevant to the core values of sisterhood, while inquiries about finances or political affiliations can be sensitive and should be reserved for discussions after a bid is extended. Dalton's advice aims to help potential new members focus on genuine connections and the values of each sorority during this crucial period.
