recruitment, COB and public relations

[fire1977]

Okay guys, I really need your help. The chapter that I'm working with really needs some ideas in the above areas. Not just the normal ideas. I'm talking about thinking out of the box. Some stats; Large University, small greek population, city location. ONe of the three smallest sororities out of 11 others. ANY ideas would be appreciated as I will be taking over the recruitment advisor position in our area next year and there is another chapter with lower numbers that i will be working with. (I'm assisting on chapter as of now). PM me if you have to!

First get every girl involved in the house... or else it not going to work as well and it wont be that sisterhood team effort you need.
Put flyers up all over campus promoting your group.
Plan events or even just random open house for girls who might still be interested in joining. We had a "Friends" Night where we just invited girls over to watch tv and hang with us. Take em Ice skating, or out for ice cream. Some doing COB's on my campus even put ads in the news papers. Get girls to call their friends who might be interested. Talk to people. Sometimes a big group of us would have lunch in our student union wearing letters amd stuff to get people to notice us so we could recruit. It works. Take interested girls out for coffee dates and lunch dates like we did. If you can, maybe get a sorority (that you're close with) that's not doing COB and has enough girls to help you guys out.

In all of this though, remember its quality, not always quantity that matters. Get girls who will better your sisterhood.

EXACTLY! It is very possible for a small chapter to become stronger and happier than a large chapter if quality is the small group's main focus.
