Every good sorority girl knows the importance of a great recruitment video. Since PNMs only talk to a few girls during rush, the video is a crucial element in showing what your organization is all about. So you’ve taped awesome footage, gathered the cutest pictures, and have your resident graphic design major working on amazing editing. All that’s missing? The perfect soundtrack.
The songs on your recruitment video need to be sweet and feel good, but the last thing you want it to have the same songs as every other house. Seriously, these girls can only hear “I Love It” by Icona Pop and Phillip Phillip’s “Home” so many times.
Just don’t use “Pretty Girls,” and you’ll be fine. But consider these underrated songs as the soundtrack to your sisterhood.
1. “I Lived” by OneRepublic
Key Lyrics: “I owned every second that this world could give/I saw so many places, the things that I did/With every broken bone, I swear I lived.”
2. “Home We’ll Go” by Steve Aoki & Walk Off the Earth
Key Lyrics: “It’s a long road but we’re not alone/Together we stand and we’re coming home.”
3. “Be Okay” by Oh Honey
Key Lyrics: “I’m wide awake, so what’s the point of dreaming when your life is great? Celebrate the feeling.”
4. “Rather Be” by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne
Key Lyrics: “If you gave me a chance I would take it/It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it/Know with all of your heart, you can’t shake me/When I am with you, there’s no place I’d rather be.”
5. “Take Me Home” by Cash Cash
Key Lyrics: “Round in circles/Here we go/With the highest highs/And the lowest lows.”
6. “This Is How We Roll” by Fifth Harmony
Key Lyrics: “This is how we roll/We gotta get out/Can’t stay in the house ’cause/The party don’t end/Every weekend.”
7. “Count On Me” by Bruno Mars
Key Lyrics: “You can count on me like 1, 2, 3/I’ll be there/And I know when I need it/I can count on you like 4, 3, 2/And you’ll be there/’Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do.”
