college goals – from application to matriculation!

Helping your students take flight and reach their college goals – we help coordinate and guide your efforts, in everything from selecting dorm decor, to finding clubs, and participating in Recruitment!


Recruitment Consultation & Coordination
Birdie Boost

Once you have decided which college you will attend, one of the next steps is considering the social footprint you hope to experience on campus. For some, that might include participating in Fraternity and Sorority Recruitment.

Recruitment (or “Rush”) can feel overwhelming — whether you are are a 3-generation legacy or new to the idea of Greek Life! Let Varsity Vine be your guide as you create a personalized plan. We want you to feel confident, noticed, and wanted! With your Varsity Vine insights, you will maximize your options as you find your best fit on your new college campus!

Varsity Vine will work privately and confidentially, one-on-one, with each Varsity Vine client family, providing the highest level of support, inside information, and gentle care. We know it’s a stressful time!

Depending on the college and the student’s individual goals, Varsity Vine’s consultation and plan may include, but not be limited to, the following:

  • You are a PNM! (Wait, what’s that?)
  • Comprehensive List of the Fraternity/Sorority houses available & insider tips for your unique campus opportunities

Campus Clubs & Professional Societies: Creating a Roadmap for Success
Birdie Boost

Once you have decided which college you will attend, one of the next steps is considering your social and academic footprint and determining your own personal pathway to getting involved. Clubs can be an essential part of your social, academic, and professional success on campus — and, unlike Fraternities and Sororities — should not be expensive to join.

But the choices can feel overwhelming. After all, some college campuses have over 500 registered student organizations, each with its own process for joining (including applications and rush!). From the band, academic societies and professional organizations to hobby clubs and intramural sports, there are many opportunities to get involved and “find your people” — a great group of friends and a huge network of peers.

But because the options can feel overwhelming, Varsity Vine finds it’s best to strategize before you move in, so you can feel confident when you arrive on campus. 

Varsity Vine will work privately and confidentially, one-on-one, with each Varsity Vine client family, providing a roadmap for club success. Depending on the college and the student’s individual goals, Varsity Vine’s consultation and plan may include, but not be limited to, the following:

  • My Evolving Interests: What Will I Keep from High School… and What Will I Add or Delete?
  • Club Perks: Professional Opportunities and Personal Growth
  • Resources to Lean On: College Website, Campus Newspaper, FB/Insta, Your Own Network
  • Comprehensive List of Clubs & Organizations 
  • Insider Tips for Your Unique Campus Opportunities
  • Understanding Your Motivation: Why Join?
  • Understanding You Bandwidth: How Much Can I Feasibly Do?
  • Summer Strategies – Reaching Out to Clubs
  • Fall Student Club Fair & Other Introductions
  • How to Enhance Your Major Through Clubs
  • Professional Organizations: Application, Resume & Essays
  • Trying Out? How to Prepare!
  • Creating Your Own Club

Varsity Vine will help you find your authentic fit and allow you to hit the ground running on Day 1! 


Dorm Decor
Your Home-Away-From-Home: Designing Your Perfect Dorm Room from a Blank Slate
Birdie Boost

Gone are the days when you show up to your college dorm room with a single suitcase in hand. These days, designing your dorm room and customizing your space is a great way to express your personality and help you feel at home as you embark on your new college experience! A welcoming dorm room can also become a hub, a place where new friends gather or meet up — helping you create and foster new friendships. 

And, anyway, the space is practically begging for a re-vamp. Who wants to live in a space with just four plain cinderblock walls, linoleum floors, and ugly brown furniture? Let your inner designer shine!

Work with Varsity Vine to help you figure out the best way to customize your space, from blank slate to designer digs! Varsity Vine knows where to order everything you need and can help assist your planning by:

  • Maximizing the Room with a New Layout: Think Vertically!
  • Thinking Through a Color Scheme
  • Ideas on where you can find the Perfect Rug
  • Considering Bed Height Options
  • Helping you find the best place to purchase Bedding: Headboard, Bed Skirt, Sheets, Pillows, Comforters
