justified
We are a small commuter campus with about 9 to 11,000 students and about half of them hate Greeks. . .the other half doesn't want to be around us. This year, our Campus Activities Director is a Tri-Delt. She's basically been pushing Greek in everyone's face.
We've had a table at every student orientation with a signup sheet with sororities/fraternities working the table. Our signup sheet was basically either signup right now or signup to be contacted at a later date. Choices rock!
Also, anytime the school is sponsoring stuff, she gets the Greeks in there and encourages us to wear our letters. We just had a Welcome Back Week with tons of free giveaways. . .and she placed a Greek at every table. . .PLUS there was a Greek signup table.
In the past, they have had 40 to 50 girls signup for recruitment. Last year, there was tons of rumors flying around about the sororities and the list went from 30 to 13 in less than a day. This year, most of the girls have actually seen and met all of us and don't have such a bad opinion of us.
Another question: the people who stand at these tables. . .do they actually talk to people walking by? We discovered that most people think Greeks are snobs(who knew) and if you just stand at a table not doing anything. . .they will pass by. At our tables, we had music going, we were dancing, and when a girl would walk pass. . .we would have girls walking about and bringing them to the table. And don't always go after the girls who have the 'sorority look'. . .yes, we have a reputation to keep up but we also need to learn that right now. . .rebellion is in and nobody wants to be friends with the cast of 'O.C.'
In fact, most of us are rooting that the outcast gets the girl over the fraternity type jock. . .RIGHT?!?!?
