Even if your girls have makeovers or whatever, the looks reputation will probably take a while to improve. It is a start though.

Keep in mind - some of the fraternities won't mind mixing with a sorority that may not have the best looks reputation, but they will mind if y'all aren't fun and involved.

Additional things you should concentrate on:

PUBLICITY -

a) as an earlier poster said, always look sharp in your letters. Talk about it in meeting that letters are always for looking your best. Plan one day a week for letters and one day for pin attire.

b) website - update it. Add some fun pics; that's what everyone looks for anyway. Perhaps add a (moderated) guestbook, so your friends can say hey. If you want help, send me a PM.

c) put ads in the campus newspaper - perhaps a sister of the week-type thing. Be sure to send them announcements for things like your philanthropies (and a week later send a thank-you announcement to the campus for supporting your philanthropy), new pledge classes, etc. Maybe you can do other ones too like "Good luck on midterms! Love, XYZ". It depends on your campus and the newspaper.

d) fun t-shirts. Screenprints do a great job of getting you noticed because people see the slogan over and over.

e) homecoming, Greek Week, etc. - show up in full spirit! Impress upon your sisters how important (and fun) this type of thing is... don't skip out, don't do it half-assed, and don't do it with a bad attitude.

f) do something fun for a philanthropy. Make sure at least some of your projects VISIBLY are on-campus! This gets you involved on campus, and it lets other Greeks, potentials, and folks in general get to know y'all.

g) invite a fraternity to join you for a philanthropy project and then have a mixer afterwards! I bet they would be excited to do something like that.

h) what other publicity techniques do you have on your campus? Be sure to take advantage of them. We have a (locked under glass) bulletin board with photos, announcements, etc. of our sorority. We also spray paint The Rock (a boulder.. campus tradition) with our letters. What do you have on your campus?



Remember that rush is 365 days a year. You are always making an impression on potential sisters.
