The business of sorority recruitment, with guest Sloan Anderson

Sorority recruitment can feel overwhelming, confusing, and at times, really upsetting. In this episode, Shane and Jenna sit down with Sloan Anderson, sorority recruitment consultant and founder of Getting the Bid, to talk about what’s really missing from traditional recruitment advice - and what girls actually need to know heading into the process.

Sloan shares her own challenging sorority recruitment experience, how outdated resources left her feeling unprepared, and why she created Getting the Bid as a modern, realistic resource for potential new members. Together, they dive into the importance of preparation that goes beyond outfits - focusing instead on networking, conversation skills, confidence, and finding a chapter that truly fits.

If you (or your daughter) are approaching sorority recruitment, this episode offers honest insight, practical tips, and reassurance that you’re not alone in feeling nervous - and that the right preparation can make all the difference.

Our advice? If you're getting ready to participate in this process and you have no idea what you're doing, trust us: you've never been through something like this before. Get someone who can advise you with solid information and take the stress out of it. If either of us were to go through it again, we'd be on the phone to Sloan at Getting the Bid right now.
