The most important thing about COR activities is the adverstising. No less than three days of advertising the events. If girls don't know about an event they can't show up.

Advertising Ideas:

Banners/Posters in the spot where your target PNMs are. If your after freshman and they hang out in the student center then put the banners there. If they tend to centralize near their dorms and cafeterias then advertise there.

Table Tents are the mini flyers on tables in restaurants and cafeterias. PNMs have to eat at some point. Put your name in front of them while they do!

Ads in the Campus Paper. Keep it simple, but have a logo on it to catch the PNMs eye. Actually, that's true for ALL the advertising.

Hand Outs of the mini flyers. Again go to where your audience is. Have the members handing out flyers. Have a table with a sign up sheet. Have the members be ACTIVELY getting PNMs to come to the table. They should not be sitting there as they hope someone approaches them.

Giveaways attached to the handouts can also be good. Candy, like lollipops, usually works well.

Sidewalk Chalk, if campus rules allow. Write the COR info in chalk on the ground. Make it eyecatching!

Classrooms, again if allowed. Put the mini flyers on the seats between classes, write announcements on the chalkboards, and have members standup in front of a class to announce the events. The members don't even need to be in the class. They can say what they need to and then leave.

Word of Mouth Members should be talking up the events and the organization every chance they get.

Wear Your Letters Everyday, Everywhere! Even better is to have members be SEEN in the letters behaving in ways flattering to the chapter. EX) Studying together, working together, playing together, volunteering together, being sisterly together. Key Word = TOGETHER!!! PNMs can overlook one member in letters, but can they miss five members in letters?
