Hello! Recently, I emailed the Recruitment Vice President at my sorority of choice on my university campus in order to ask about informal recruitment. I missed the deadline, but she encouraged me to not give up on formal fall recruitment and offered to send me a PNM survey. Then, she facebook friended me, (which I still kind of feel weird about, but my profile is clean so I'm not worried about that).
I responded that I would like to fill out the survey, and when nearly a week passed and I hadn't heard back, I emailed again, politely, about the survey. She sent it to me and now I am nervous about filling it out. How gushy, flattering or extensive should I be on this survey? I want to register on the VP's/Chapter's radar, but not overwhelm them. (The survey is pretty much the recruitment application plus a few extra questions.)
Further, I am strongly considering writing the local alumnae organization to see if I can find someone to recommend me. My campus is, from what I've gathered, pretty non-competetitive when it comes to recruitment and all of the chapters (of which there are not many) are smaller. I don't know if the rec would be too much, or if it would serve to demonstrate my desire to join their chapter.
I am older (24) and a second degree student. I would say that my university does not have a "typical" student, as it is not a large state school, or a private college, but rather a campus whose student body is constantly in flux; there is no one, true, easy definition of a student on my campus.
Well, bottom line is, I'm trying to find a balance between trying too hard with this chapter and flattering the chapter just enough (with my survey, rec., etc.)
Any suggestions?
