Our school is actually pretty supportive of Greek life. There are some minor issues, but for the most part the administration is supportive of greeks. We do have Greek representation during our summer orientation. Members of Greek Life are a part of the Orientation team, we also have Greek ambassadors that serve on the student council (an open forum for incoming freshman to as questions about campus life with current students). Our Greek coordinator also does a presentation during part of the orientation.
We currently have a brochure we pass out during visits and orientation about greek life, and I am finish up a website at the moment with information about greek life in general and each individual sororities information. In addition, PNMs will be able to register from this site, find information on recruitment, and see example of what to wear each night.
We tend to lose people over the week, so we are creating activities like lunch, dinner, study hours, and ice cream socials during the week with other PNMs going through recruitment and the Rho Chis. We are hoping that this will enforce the sense of greek community.
We are a small state school, and generally only about 3-4% of the incoming freshman women come out to recruitment. We are having issues maintaing total within our chapters, which puts our housing in danger every year.
Any more ideas and suggestions would be so helpful, this is really a pivotal year for us. We really need to pull up all our numbers and get that positive idea of greek life out there so we can continue the trend. Thanks!
