Everything She Needs for Freshman Year
Just $147
(Save $266!)
+ Bonus: Post-Sorority Recruitment Guide ($37 value)
🎀 The Bonus We Hope She Won't Need (But She Might) 🎀
Let's talk about sorority recruitment for a second.
Here's what most parents might hear about rush, but don't want to accept: the numbers don't work in every girl's favor.
Even at schools where Greek life is huge, not every girl who rushes gets a bid. Some girls get dropped. Some get bids to houses they weren't expecting. Some accept a bid and then second-guess their choice. Some drop out before bid day.
And when that happens? It can feel devastating.
She might call you in hysterics and you desperately want to help her, but you aren't saying what she wants to hear.
Or, she might not want to tell you how much it hurts.
She might downplay it: "It's fine, I didn't even want to join anyway."
But inside, she's processing rejection, disappointment, or uncertainty.
That's where this bonus guide comes in.
THE POST-SORORITY RECRUITMENT GUIDE ($37 value)
What to do when recruitment doesn't go as planned.
This guide helps her navigate:
✅ What to do if she got dropped or dropped out (it's not about her worth)
✅ How to handle accepting a bid she's unsure about
✅ How to decide if Greek life is actually right for her
✅ Moving forward with confidence, no matter the outcome
As someone who's coached girls through these exact situations, I know what moms can't always provide a perspective from someone who isn't emotionally involved but deeply understands the social dynamics at play.
YOU HOPE SHE WON'T NEED THIS GUIDE.
I hope she doesn't either. But, just in case, it's included and will help her.

👋 Meet Suzanne 👋
Hi! I'm Suzanne, Life Coach for College Girls. I’ve lived this college roller coaster as a mom, an educator, and someone who’s spent 25+ years helping students learn how to learn and teaching teachers how to teach.
I've been an instructional facilitator, high school assistant principal, English teacher, and am a mom of two (including a college student). That's why I created The Smart Girl's Guide to Freshman Year: because smart girls need tools for their 3 biggest worries: academics, homesickness, and anxiety (and post-recrutiment support).
"This bundle is the graduation gift I wish every college girl received. It's practical, it's proven, it's made with love, and it truly helps."
– Suzanne Hanna, Ed.S.
This guide combines my best resources for college freshmen. ♥️
♥️ For the Moms Reading This ♥️
You raised a smart, capable daughter.
But college hits different, and if she’s already feeling apprehensive or doubting herself, this guide serves as her emotional support animal and academic cheerleader.
The Smart Girl Guide to Freshman Year gives her the structure and strategy to:
🌟 Understand homesickness and manage it
🌟 Build confidence and independence in her academic life
🌟 Tame her anxiety when she feels overwhlemed
The Smart Girl Freshman Guide is the bundle of support I wish every student had access to.
The Smart Girl's Guide is the goodbye & Godspeed present that
says 'I believe in you, and here's help when you need it'.
👏 What Smart Students (and Their Moms) Are Saying 👏
"I got dropped by every house except one during recruitment, and I was devastated. I felt like everyone could see I wasn't good enough. Suzanne's guide helped me understand that the numbers literally don't work in everyone's favor, so it wasn't about me being 'less than.' Suzanne walked me through my options (including not going Greek at all), and I ended up doing COB in the spring and found a house where I actually fit. I wish I'd read this before recruitment so I wouldn't have spent two weeks thinking I was a failure. If your daughter is going through recruitment, get her this guide, whether she gets a bid or not."
– freshman at Auburn University
"What an absolute difference this semester has been in comparison to last!! I bought your Smart Girl Study System for my student over Christmas break. He sat down with before returning to school and what a difference! He plans his weeks, studies each day vs cramming etc and you can see a difference in his confidence and his grades this semester! He even sought out a professor in a class he was struggling with early in the semester to make sure he could learn what he didn’t understand! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"
– mom of freshman at James Madison University
"My daughter called me crying every night for the first three weeks. I felt helpless being 800 miles away. I sent her the Dorm Room Blues guide, and within two weeks she was using the strategies and starting to feel at home. She told me the journal prompts helped her process her feelings instead of just spiraling. By October, she was texting me about her new friends instead of begging to come home. This guide gave her tools I couldn't provide, and it gave me peace of mind knowing she had support even when I wasn't there. So grateful for Suzanne's ability to connect with girls!"
– mom of Univ of Georgia freshman
"I watched my daughter struggle with anxiety during high school, so I was terrified about sending her to college. The 'Tame Your Anxiety' coaching changed everything. Suzanne explains what's happening in your brain in a way that makes anxiety less scary, and the coping tools actually work in real moments of panic. My daughter is managing stress in a way I never could have taught her."
– mom of Univ of Arizona freshman
