We're worried about hitting quota and such because while we don't have pressure from HQ to make these numbers, our school is giving us pressure. We do not have houses on our campus, we are given a floor in the residence halls as a sorority floor. If we don't have the numbers to fill our floor we lose it and will have no place to have recruitment or to have our new member nights/ceremonies. In our campus losing your floor can easily lose you your chapter if you don't have a HQ backing you up. This is why we are concerned about our numbers.
During our parties we generally play up the following facts:
1- Our dues are lower.
2- We run ourselves.
3- Our alumni and founders are still supportive.
4- We have won "Best Sisterhood" (an award given by Greek Life) 12 yrs in a row.
5- We have won the Community Service Award.
6- We have Sisters involved in theater, sports, and many other clubs.
7- Our sisters are President of Panhellenic Council and Greek Senate.
8- We are small, but our bonds between each other are big.
I don't think we ignore any PNMs just because we may think a girl is a lock. We try to keep it at least one sister to 2 PNMs...if our numbers allow it. We notice that girls we may see as locks always tend to go to one chapter.
I feel like maybe PNMs get bored at our parties because they might not have a lot of structure. There is only so much time you can spend talking to a girl before you get bored. But, we don't know how to get that structure.
