Also, I'd like to update you on how it went tonight
Nobody came because of our advertisements, so that was a waste of $450 of our alumni's money. But 4 guys that we already knew came and one brought a friend, 3 of them already have bids and haven't accepted because they can't afford it yet and 1 has a bid and hasn't accepted because he's worried about his grades (we've gone over how the fraternity can only help his grades but he doesn't buy it). The one who doesn't have a bid yet also brought a friend. We invited all of them to dinner on Thursday and will bid the two who don't have bids yet (we liked them) and reaffirm the bids of those who already have them and try to address their concerns.
We were expecting a better turnout considering how much effort we put into this, but this is a different campus than most, and hey, 5 is better than 0.
