Recruitment can always be improved. We are doing ok with how things are, but the goal I set for the recruitment chair this semester is to begin an effort over the summer. I'm wrestling with a few ideas on how best to do that.
1.Regional captains. There are about 4 main areas that I think we can begin our efforts in. The first criteria is to have brothers in these areas.
2.Funding. I will try to have local alumni from those areas help fund the effort.
3.Contacting potential men from those area's that are going to attend my school. I'm going to check into the my school's admission/records and see if I can get a list of incoming students. Hopefully I can. It would be nice if I could get more info before the initial contact, but it might come down to just sending an RTS letter to their homes. Hopefully their parents will have them respond b/c of the potential money.
**Does anyone have any more input on this?
Perhaps contacting the highschool/coach/teachers or something.
4.Set up small gatherings to meet the guys and sell them Beta.
5.Make the transition to them pledging here.
One problem we've had in the past is guys being very interested in Beta, but then when rush comes we loose them. I have some ideas of why, but nothing concrete.
We are up to 12 pledges now, one guy that decided to def. until next semester changed his mind and is pledging now.
