So our outfit for the first night is a white t shirt, dark jeans, and we got these cute mauve-y/lavender scarves with ΑΩΕ Monogrammed on them in a off white :) superrr cute. hopefully i'll have pictures.

Yes please. I want to see these scarves! They sound gorgeous.

I posted this in the Recruitment Pictures thread but i'd thought i'd post it here too.

Super cute! I'm actually planning on making these for presents next year, my bf's mom has one of those awesome embroidery machines and is teaching me how to sew/embroider. I love it! :)

I love it! I think it's a great look for your first round!

That is a wonderful theme. What are some events you are doing?

This isn't really recruitment ideas, but:
How do you get your chapter to be seen as a "legitimate" sorority? I have a friend in another organization, and she was talking about stuff they do for their formal dates and mentioned she wasn't sure how it would be for a "non-greek and a greek" i was just like :mad: woah... we're greek.
i think our biggest problem of being accepted is our chapter size which is a big deal in the south, but how does your chapter deal with and overcome this issue? and what are some of the barriers your chapter faces?

For our chapter, getting on Panhellenic really helped.

Also, you just need to do your thing. Part of the problem is that you are a new chapter and part of it is you are a non-NPC sorority.

You really need to get your chapter involved with things seen as "traditional greek activities": fraternity mixers, philanthropies, etc.

If people see you all and your letters more often, it well help "legitimize" you.

We're begining to plan fall recruitment, and I am very excited.

Possible themes we've come up with:
* AΩE and the City (Sex and the City Themed)
* Lily Pulitzer theme (We haven't come up with a cute title yet)
* Sail away with AΩE (Nautical theme)
