12 Sorority Interview Questions to Expect
Unlike a college admissions interview, a sorority interview is a more relaxed conversation. Of course, you want to put your best foot forward. But it’s important to come across as authentic and approachable.
Remember, the sister you’re talking to is gauging how well you would fit in with the other women in her sorority. Being authentic opens the door for connection, making you more memorable when bid day rolls around.
Here are seven sorority interview questions that you can expect during rush week.
Round one of the recruitment is fast-paced and light-hearted. You’ll meet with members from various houses on campus and answer questions about your background and goals.
Out of all the colleges to attend, you selected this specific campus. Share what drew you to the college. Avoid mentioning parties, drinking and other related activities in this question and throughout all of recruitment. Share something meaningful about the university. You can talk about a program the school offers that you’re interested in, the fact that you have family members that attended or how the location drew you to the school.
This is one of the most common sorority interview questions, and you’ll be answering it throughout the day. When you share your major, add a reason why you selected it. Is there a passion or unique aspect that drove you to pick it? Is there a long-term goal that the major will help you reach? Share something unique and deeper than a one-word answer.
This question is pretty straightforward, but it provides an opportunity to connect with the sister you’re talking to. Rather than simply stating the place you’re from, share what you like about it or how it’s different from the college town. You can also ask the interviewer where she is from to keep the conversation going.
Refrain from giving a generic answer about making connections that last a lifetime. While that might be your goal, you want to stand out. Research the values of the sororities you’re most interested in for discussion ideas. Also, think about something unique about your life and weave it into your answer.
For example, “Throughout high school, I was a member of the soccer team. I made amazing friends, and we always knew we could count on each other. Now that that chapter of my life has ended, I think that a sorority would be an amazing place to cultivate new friendships and join a group of amazing women as we navigate college together.”
A sorority is a sisterhood. Each house is looking for fun and dynamic members. Highlight an exciting or adventurous activity you participated in over the summer. If you worked hard at an internship, share a bit about that experience. If you took a fun vacation, tell an interesting story from your travels.
Well-rounded women make great additions to a sorority. Share an interest you have and a club or organization that you’re thinking about joining. Since leadership positions are available at sororities, this is a great opportunity to ask the interviewer about sorority leadership.

Sorority recruitment is like a job interview, but way more casual, upbeat, and of course, louder.
Occasionally, during your conversations with sorority sisters, there may come a point where there is the *dreaded* lull in the conversation.
And then the sorority sister asks you, “do you have any questions?”
When this happens you need to be prepared with your own set of questions to ask in order to (1) keep the conversation flowing and (2) let the sister know that you are seriously interested in their sisterhood.
