facebook flyer
 

has anyone ever gotten a facebook flyer? I'm thinking of getting one to get the OPA name out to try and get others interested in colonizing OPA here at NCSU. Any other ideas for getting the name out there? Any help would be awesome!

Can you distribute flyers in the dorms, like through the university housing office? Also postcards, sent to student mailboxes, are becoming a popular form of OPhiA advertising :D

If you or someone you have access to has some web skills, put up a basic website with some info about what you're trying to do at NCSU, what the national org is about and what the local org would theoretically look like, and make sure that URL is included in all your publicity materials. A lot of people are probably going to want more information before they are going to want to contact you directly, and the Internet is an easy way for people to get that.

I hope my advice is useful ... :)

Good luck!

Here are a few things that worked for me:

Facebook group: I just started a group and invited a select group of ladies I had previously chatted with about it. I made the group closed but open (can't think of the correct term). Basically it showed up in searches but they had to request to join it. That way I could speak with each person and explain what exactly was happening.

Wearing pins, 'nalia whenever you can/appropriate: I drummed up most of my interest by wearing my letter pin to other group meetings. It was inevitable that someone would ask me about it, thus giving me a chance to chat about OPA.

Advertising it on my own profile: I listed it as an interest/group. Posted pictures of service projects, etc. I always got questions about it.

I hope this helps! :)
