Bumping Groups
Hey guys! I'm new to the forums, but I have a little question about recruitment. I've tried searching the forums for more information, but I can't seem to find exactly the answer to my question.
I'm the recruitment chair of my chapter. Right now, we utilize a sort of cocktail party system to move PNMs around the room during rounds. A couple have sisters have suggested that we look into utilizing bump groups to get to know PNMs. This is something I want to look into for our spring formal recruitment, however, because we've never done something like that before I'm a little confused on how exactly it works.
Our school has 6 NPC chapters, all with about 85 members. Come recruitment time, we will have about 80 sisters participating in recruitment. In the open house and philanthropy rounds, we can have as many as 70 PNMs come in each round. How exactly would the numbers for groups look like for this? Should I do 15 groups of 5 sisters each?
Also, how exactly does the bumping system work. How do sisters know when to bump and how does the process of passing the PNM happen?
I basically just need someone to explain the logistics of this system to me. I know it's a very popular method but I can't seem to find a whole lot of information on it. Thanks!!
