From managing 500+ PNMs to coordinating perfect preference parties, learn how Rush+ helped our Alpha Phi chapter achieve a 95% bid acceptance rate and transform recruitment from chaos to strategic success.

The Modern Sorority Recruitment Challenge

Today's sorority recruitment is more complex than ever. With hundreds of PNMs, multiple rounds, strict timelines, and intense competition, managing recruitment manually is a recipe for burnout and missed opportunities.

As someone who managed recruitment for a 180-member chapter, I know the stress of juggling spreadsheets, group chats, and sticky notes. That's why I switched to Rush+ – and it changed everything.
