It's not a question of should we participate or not. I am putting together a Recruitment Guidebook for my collegiate members and would like to include tools specifically geared towards Formal Recruitment. Since we don't have a HQ with experience with this as a resource I am reaching out to other Greeks asking a few questions to help create a more accurate resource.
My questions are:
1) How does your university structure their Formal Recruitment?
2) What are some successful events/themes your org held during Formal Recruitment?
3) What are some events/themes that bombed?
4) Are there other Local Sororities conducting Formal Recruitment & if so What advice would you give to another Local?
As an alumna- I can only advise and provide tools & resources for growth. I agree with 33girl that Formal Recruitment shouldn't be the ONLY way to recruit. It's my opinion that you try a variety of things to have a successful recruitment and that it doesn't matter what you try as long as you project the essence of your sisterhood & talk to people. That much I already know...So if you could answer my specific questions that would be VERY helpful.
Thank you
