Also, one common mistake made in pref ceremonies is forgetting to plan the ceremony based on the mindset of a pnm. What are they thinking, feeling? Too often, the ceremony is planned by a senior and plays to the memories, good times, emotion of that graduating group of girls. But the video and music and speaking parts of pref must appeal to a PNM and her current state of mind.

Excellent advice above regarding a workshop on teaching members to seal the deal, etc.
I think that is a really good point that many people, including myself forget. I know that one of the things we do that I really like is that we have a sister that went through the previous year talk about her recruitment journey.
