I know of an interest who called our Dean of Intake the night before we emerged to ask her should she come over and learn the steps...we were like um, is she going to learn everything about the organization overnight?...I think the one thing you cannot stress enough to interests is to be DISCREET, don't be telling everyone and their momma you're interested in XYZ (or worse, tell them you're going to pledge it), and this includes, at least for my organization, wearing a shirt with a big butterfly in lavender or Carolina blue to our table in the union or our carwashes and whatnot.
Also, picking and choosing which events to attend that we co-sponsor-it's always easiest to show up to one of our parties, but much more meaningful to show up to community service projects or educational seminars. Also helps us remember their face.
Another thing I've seen that interests do is when we can't put a name to their face they get offended...??!!!!
