The Summer Contact Playbook
Everything they don’t tell you about pre-recruitment DMs, follows, and Instagram, from someone who has orchestrated the strategy.
Before You Spiral
If your phone is buzzing—or it’s silent—this is for you
Real talk. If you’re a PNM heading into recruitment and your phone is buzzing with DMs from active members you’ve never met, or if it’s silent and you’re convinced that means something terrible, this guide is for you.
I’ve worked behind the scenes on 40+ recruitments. I’ve sat in the basement during voting. I’ve watched chapters make decisions about PNMs based on things you’d never expect. What you’re about to read is the stuff I’d tell my own little sister if she were going through recruitment this fall.
This isn’t a 47-page download you’ll never open. It’s three pages of the questions PNMs ask me most often about the summer before recruitment, with real, concrete answers, no fluff. And hopefully it'll soothe your fears.
What You’re Getting
Inside the Playbook
- The truth about pre-recruitment DMs (and why most older sorority alums are giving you outdated information about this)
- The exact difference between a good reply, a better reply, and the best reply when an active reaches out
- The follow game decoded. Who to follow, who not to follow, and what chapters actually notice
- What it means (and doesn’t mean) when a chapter follows you, plus what to do if none of them have

More From the Basement
This gets you started. The rest of the playbook comes next.
The Summer Contact Playbook covers what’s happening in your DMs. But recruitment itself is a whole other game, and there’s a lot more I want you to know before you walk into that first round.
The Full Recruitment Bundle is everything I know from 40+ sorority recruitments: written out in full, the application, the conversations, social media, pref night, outfits, all of it, organized into something you can actually use. Grab it, and you can lean on it for every step of recruitment instead of piecing it together from TikTok and Reddit.
And if you’d rather have me look at your actual materials - your social media, your application, your outfits, how you talk in rounds - that’s what consulting is for. I only take a few families each season and they fill early.
