with some chapters i have advised, it worked out better for the chapter to be divided into small groups of about 5 or 6 girls each, and each group had to invite 2-3 girls to something that the small group decided to do, after clearing it with the recruitment chair. for instance, group a invited their pnms to go with them for a coffee at starbucks, group b took their pnms out for frozen yogurt, group c took their pnms bowling, group d invited their pnms over to one of the groups apartments for a chick flick and pizza, etc. they are not hard core rushing these girls at the first meeting-it is more a get to know each other thing. hopefully, the pnms like the girls they meet and want to get to know more of your sisters at an upcoming event.

the recruitment chair shared a list of interested pnms(from a list provided by panhellenic) with the chapter to see if any members knew any of the girls. if anyone knew a pnm, that group had first dibs on inviting her to their event. the group also had the option of asking someone they knew from their classes, work or organizations that they belonged to. the recruitment chair approved the events and decided which week the events would take place. the groups notified the recruitment chair which pnms were meeting with. the events had to all take place during the same week, but the group could decide what day worked better for them. after the event had taken place, the leader of the group would contact the rec. chair, let her know how it went .

the next event would be an all chapter event when all the chapter and all interested pnms met together. someone from the group would pick up the pnm, escort her to the event and take her home. the group would take turns(rotations) showing her around and introducing her to the other members. this worked well because this allowed for the maximum number of members to meet the pnms and vice versa.

i agree with 33, i don't understand why the recruitment chair is not making her own decisions about recruitment events and why your ec is making all the recruitment decisions.
