Informal Recruitment
 

Hello,
I am from the theta alpha chapter from northern michigan university. I am the membership recruitment chair. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas of activities i could host for potential new members. Our chapter size is about 25. So, it would be really appreciated if any kind of ideas are thrown my way!! thank you so much! -Lori

Lori-

You're asking for COB ideas? Here are a few from Gamma Gamma, the chapter I am alumna of:

-pj party - wear jammies, have slumber party foods, play mad libs

-coffee house - have instant cappuccino, watch Friends, play games

-Grafiti - wear white shirts, write on each other (TASTEFULLY!)

- Monte Carlo - play card games/ other 'gambling' games

- Theme some around your school... wear school colors... if you can, go to a sporting event or hold your own! Maybe do some fun track and field events - 5 legged race/potato sack


Be creative! Only you know whats good for your chapter! At your RLC you will get some time to network with other MRCs near you... use this time to share ideas!

If you have any other questions - please contact your RCD/RD!

Which is now me! :D

Remember any open event can be a recruitment event.

If you are trying to plan several CR events in a short span, you can always go with a theme - like Ali said.

See what type of events your sisters like to go to, and then plan open sisterhoods for them.

I've always liked active things like bowling or rollerskating - fun but leaves plenty of time for chatting. I know my former chapter did rockclimbing this year, and has done laser tag in the past.

Ice cream social's been a fave of mine too :)

Do things that really show women what your chapter likes to do.

Also, don't forget that you can do philanthropy projects at an event (make IV covers, door hangers, etc.)
