Defer recruitment until spring. PNMs begin to sign up for recruitment the first day of fall semester. Allow chapters/Panhellenic to invite registered PNMs to philanthropy events, to watch Greek Week/Homecoming events, Panhellenic speakers/programs, etc. basically anything that wouldn't be weird to have non-members attend. Registered PNMs bring friends, friends register, they bring their friends. A semester of authentic interaction (and a semester to prove yourself academically on the college level) and then formal recruitment for efficiency. |
While I agree with the benefits thetygerlily states, there is a major problem with deferring Recruitment to spring on large Greek campuses, particularly for those with physical houses. The financial loss of just one semester's income from a new member class can be devastating. It wouldn't just be the loss of dues that pays for socials and such, but more importantly meals, staff salaries, house maintence costs, etc.
