SOS! My school decided that we needed a more 'values-based' recruitment and therefore got rid of the best part of recruitment (for me), the skits and the dance routine! Now, our committee has to brainstorm how to take up that amount of time in a way that will give the PNMs a break from talking and will showcase what our sisterhood is all about.
Here's a little bit about our formal recruitment process:
We don't have houses at my school so each sorority gets a ballroom somewhere on campus for the week of recruitment. This means that our whole set up consists of us bringing tons of chairs and tables and all the decorations.
There are 4 rounds - Open House (25 minutes) see 12 sororities, Philanthropy Round (40 minutes) see 9 sororities, Sisterhood Round (45 minutes) see 6 sororities and also discuss financial and housing obligations, Preference Round (50 minutes) see 3 sororities, BID DAY!!
During every single round the PNMs all talked to at least one girl but there is usually something to give everyone a break like a speech or a video. Normally it would be a skit for the third round but we can no longer do that unfortunately. We are still doing a sisterhood video and a slideshow we just need something else.
Some ideas we've thought of already has been having a girl sing, having an interactive game or something where the girls got to learn about our sorority (maybe like a sorority bingo), and having different stations set up around the room explaining different parts of our sisterhood.
If you have any ideas please do share we are becoming a bit desperate
Thank you so so so much!
