^^^ What they said "rushee" and "Rush Week"!
 

Do they get Recruitment infractions? ;)

Am I the only one who thought the panhellenic president didn't come off that well? I don't know if she was nervous or what (I would be) but she just sounded.. off.

This is a really good video from William and Mary!

There was a subtle handsign made by one of the girls in the video...I wonder if they are the Rho Chis. It looked totally accidental but I think she revealed her affiliation. Oops.

I'm biased, but I think this "Go Greek" video produced by Pepperdine's IFC and PC is great. It does a good job of communicating the benefits of joinging greek life on a campus that doesn't have greek housing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=LKU9gYIFa1k

UC Davis "Go Greek" video 2011:

^^^ I completely agree with the message. However, it seems more conducive to an early new member meeting, instead of recruitment. It was a pretty heavy message. That's just my gut reaction.

Agreed! While it's a hugely important message, I think it really depends on your campus. At a school where Greek life isn't widely known, I think it could scare people off. However, even though I'm finishing up my last term as a collegian, I think it's a great video/message.

I'm don't think it is meant to be shown during recruitment but didn't know if it warranted a separate thread. I am now am convinced it does. I'll start a new thread to avoid confusion. Thanks!

Out of all the Kappa recruitment video's I have watched, this one from the kappa chapter (Hillsdale College), has to be my favourite :)

Kappa Kappa Gamma Rush Video

Are there any other recruitment video threads? I think this is the most recent one that's not specific to a certain year.

Anyway, I'm digging Alpha Phi @ Washington's preview video.

Our Epsilon Sigma chapter at VCU's recruitment video for 2014:

Has anyone else noticed how all the rush videos are starting to look exactly the same? So many use "Rather Be," or a Lana Del Ray Song or some other music like that. They slowly pan on the sorority symbols, the decorations for bid day, etc. The girls are jumping in slow motion with flower garlands on their hair and then they switch to a party with a DJ and techno music. Don't get me wrong. I think they're cute, but they're beginning to look so generic. I think the DGs at FSU started the trend)

Obviously someone has too much time on her hands ; - )

This is not meant to be snarky in any way, but what are bid day videos for? Do they give out copies to new members? Show them during the next recruitment? They are extremely well done, there is no question about that! However, they are clearly putting a fair amount of money into them,and I would ask to what end?

(To be clear, I am one of those people who doesn't love using videos during recruitment that are much longer than 2-3 minutes, and I think they should largely be limited to philanthropy and leadership related topics-to succinctly inform, pretty much.)

II thought this was the most appropriate place for this. Mods, feel free to move it if necessary.

It's Bid Day Run from the perspective of the PNM/New Member

I must be getting old and sentimental, plus my daughter is a senior in high school...that brought a tear to my eye seeing things from the PNM's point of view!

This is fantastic....especially cause its our fraternity Alpha Xi....love the perspective....and made me definitely tear up....thank you so much....where is this chapter?

It was a random find. I don't know what chapter. You could leave the owner a message and ask?

funny no chapter listed....again....thanks soooooo much

Probably UCF, based another video she has uploaded.

Here's a good one that's new for fall 2017: Delta Gamma at Texas A&M. A friend's daughter is in this chapter. No glitter or Snapchat filters involved! (Though I'm not a fan of the headline of the article,)

ChioLu, that video is so cute! And I agree, that title is unnecessary. These young women should be allowed to have fun and promote the wonderful aspects of their sisterhood without being relegated to "future wives", especially since so many people stick to that stereotype of sorority women wanting a "ring by spring" or only in college for "an MRS degree", while they're in the middle of breaking those tropes right in the video!

Also, am I the only one who feels like it's not the most egregious thing in the world to have "stereotypical" videos? If girls are having fun on the beach or having a dance party, why do people care so much? I get that people say those expensive, professional videos aren't about sisterhood, philanthropy, leadership, or scholarship, but they're just fun promo videos. PNMs will see the sisterhood during recruitment, and I've always seen these types of things are just getting PNMs excited about it. The only real problem I have is how unoriginal it's gotten. Like come on, I've seen the same girls lying on the ground in a circle 1000 times now!
