damn...I just opened pandora's box...but in the interest of making my sorority better I am going to run with it. Also...with 06 formal recruitment approaching, the time for image improvement is now, if we want to raise our numbers as they are not as high as we all want....about 2 dozen now....
So the good thing going for my group is that we are genuinely diverse. We don't have a "type" that we look for, its all on a case by case basis and selection is based on who really wants it. Another good thing is that I am in one of the two cliques who is up for being dynamic and getting out there (but our 'power' is limited cos of how the power structure in our group works). Some of my fellow clique mates are really working to project a good image, and I'm working in the sense that i'm on NPC, and will be going to one of the chapters philanthropies later this week. I have also tried to maintain connections with the fraternity guys (I've met a handful of IFC guys). I'm cute so I thought that would be enough, but apparently there are so many cute girls who actually do socials with the guys that the guys assume they don't need to bother with my group.
I don't have much faith in the social chair at this point...her record seems to be lacking. We'll see how the new girl does.
Since I am not going to change the girls, I figure I have two options...recruit like crazy during cor and put myself out there...any practical suggestions for how I can do this when I don't have much backing and when our reputation isn't as great as it should be?
