Exclamation HELP!!!

Hey Ladies,
So recruitment is upon us yet again. Our numbers are beginning to come in as far as how many women are going through recruitment. There are 204 that have passed through all the levels of approval. There can be more that are hung up within the 3 levels before they are approved and the chapters are made aware of them. 60 girls signed up in the last week. My question is, we are a small chapter. We're going to have 25 women that are recruiting and our VPMR. What is the best way to teach women how to do multiple rush? 4 of the women have been through recruitment on the sister side, the other 20 are new. Right now, it's looking like there might be 45 to 50 PNM's per party. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Alpha Love,
AOIINewbie

I don't think you will find much experience with this situation from others. Common sense would tell you that emphasizing the need for NO one to be ignored is essential. Sisters need to be sure to engage all rushees assigned to them in the conversation. Try introducing rushees to each other and starting conversations that can include multiple participants. This may start out with discussing shoes or sports or college life. Try to get the rushees to feed off each other to propose questions about AOII and sorority life. The last thing you want to do is start talking to one girl and let another sit and watch the conversation with no way of joining. Tough task, but you might practice a little before hand. Good luck!

I can see a good opportunity for practise here. Have a sister "rush" two other sisters. Have a list of topics on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. Each "rushee" picks out three topics, and those are the ONLY things they can talk about. So #1 might have bowling, history, and celebrities, and #2 might have shoes, sociology, and softball. The sister "Rushing" needs to figure out how to converse with both at the same time.

I agree- practice practice practice. maybe even see if another sorority would be willing to do a "mock" rush with you. That way you could practice everything you will do at the party from start to finish.

You may find it helpful to talk a little about yourself before leading to an open ended question that each girl can respond to. For example, you could say, "I'm Sister Judy. I'm so glad you both are here today. I remember when I went through rush, I was so nervous but excited about joining a sorority. I didn't even know X about sorority life when I went through. Have you guys thought about X?" Making things more conversational instead of interview style will probably help them feel more free to answer spontaneously rather than waiting their turn for you to ask a question and each to answer. In some ways, interviewing two or more girls at a time may be easier so it doesn't feel so pressured. The girls may be more open to chatting and feel like they "clicked." It doesn't have to be a bad thing!
