I'm sure I'm far from the only alumna who hears Recruitment Party plans and thinks, "Should I say it or not?" So... for those of us who have to pick their battles wisely when dealing with a chapter, I thought maybe some alumnae could tender some advise here.

I'll start by stating that Recruitment really needs to be cost-efficient. One of the very best Recruitment ideas I ever saw was done by Alpha Epsilon Phi at Pitt. Instead of having 5 conflicting theme parties that caused Set up > The Party > Clean Up > Tear Down > Redecorate for five days straight, they stuck to one basic theme, and just tweaked it to a different subtheme every day!

The Sisters were more on the ball, because they were refreshed, there were no late night fights over "But I did it LAST night!", and I would imagine that the costs were kept down.

Any other pearls of wisdom?
