It is crucial that every chapter on your campus have this understaning, "Their success is our success" meaning that when ALL chapter on campus are strong, it makes everyone stronger. If your weakest chapter goes under, then it's just someone else that will be next. I urge the members of the strong chapters on campus to do the best they can to make sure the ENTIRE panhellenic system is the best it can be. As mentioned before, it is SOoo unfair to not follow release figures. So many chapters at my school string girls out for days with no intentions of giving them bids, unless their top girls go something else. They are their backups. The pnms think they're at the top of your list though and they are convinced they must be a XYZ or they will absolutely die. We had almost 60 girls last year cross cut because of this. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Second, do not perpetuate rumors that you KNOW are not true. My chapter was nearly crippled by a certain rival sorority telling pnms that we were going under the next year. Each sorority has the same thing to offer a pnm, it just comes in a different package. For some it's in a pretty azure blue and white package with a lion. For others, it's in a two toned blue one with a pretty golden key. Still others found their place within a black and gold package with a kite flying high above them (and obviously, many others). Sisterhood, service, social, academics, etc. We all have the same thing to offer. It just looks a little different. I don't know how many of your schools have guaranteed placement, but I know my best friend's school has it and it has hurt her chapter so much. It makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker, so I've heard. Our Panhellenic advisor refuses to switch to this until all 9 chapters are strong. Also, if your school doesn't have no frills rush, fight for it. RECRUITMENT, sorry, I'm old school I guess. The recruitment budgets at my school got cut by more than half this year. Yah hoo for our chapter, boo hoo for the others who have the 10.000 dollars to spend on it. Anyway, I hope that helped some.
