No matter how great a conversationalist the recruiter is, they will never get to know you with one-word answers. Give your “why” when answering questions. This will give the women you are talking to a chance to dive deeper. Here are examples of a one-word conversation and a conversation that is about your “why”.
One-Word Answer Conversations
“What made you decide to go to this school?”
“My mom went here.”
“So you are close with your mom?”
“Yes.”
The sorority memeber recruiting in this conversation has close to nothing to work with to keep the conversation flowing, and they didn’t get to know YOU.
Try this instead.
‘Why’ Focused Conversation
“What made you decide to go to this school?”
“My mom went here. When I was growing up she told me so many stories about the traditions and her friends from college became like second moms to me.”
“That is so fun! Our school traditions are my favorite part of the year. Are you close with your mom?”
“Yes! I am super family-oriented. She has always been my biggest supporter whether it was at my choir concerts or soccer games, she was always cheering me on.”
The “why” focused conversation give the sorority member you are talking to many avenues to steer the conversation. They could ask you about your time in music, athletics or your family values
