Social media isn't just "a thing" during OSU sorority recruitment; it's part of the process.
In this episode of our three part Prepping for Rush series, we get real about how chapters actually use Instagram, TikTok, and yes...even Facebook to learn who you are before you ever step into a conversation.
Chloe breaks down why having a social presence matters, how chapters match PNMs (potential new members) with members ahead of time, and what they're really scanning for (hint: it's not just aesthetics, it's risk, drama, and liability).
We talk about what to post, what to delete, and why too many selfies or boyfriend-only pics can raise eyebrows fast. You'll also hear the "quiet stuff" people don't always say out loud: tagged photos matter, captions matter, your bio can signal a vibe, and alumni and moms absolutely do some digging.
Then we get into RushTok. It's fun, it's addictive, and it's not always smart to post during recruitment. We explain why "save it for after Bid Day" might be the best advice you hear all season.
