I thought we could share our recruitment dates/trials/successes as the fall recruitment season approaches. As MRD for my chapter, I know I'll have plenty to post!!!!
Our recruitment (formal) is Sept 5th-11th we have a house night, philanthropy night, sisterhood night (invite only) and pref night (invite only). We have a small campus 1500 or so undergrad, chapter total is currently set at 39, our chapter has 31, and quota averages 10 every year. This year panhellenic is working really hard to get recruitment numbers up, we're doing freshman move in, a huge pr campaign, the parent's prospective booklet from NPC, and a big recruitment info booklet. Our panhellenic theme is: "Letters today, Leaders tomorrow", which I think does alot to avoid stereotypes. We're hoping for 50 plus girls to sign up this year.
We have three sororities on my campus: Sigma with 31 members, Chi Omega with 29-33 (they were the total setters and then had graduates, so I'm not sure the current total), and Alpha Sigma Tau with 10 to 12 (again an approx, they had a very successful informal in spring so I'm not sure).
recruitment here is not very competitive, we never see recs, and the big problems we have are girls dropping out before pref or ISP (suiciding) b/c with such a small greek system most pnms KNOW (so they say) where they want to go. we're trying to cut down on that by being extra panhellenic.
Both Chi O and Sigma consistantly make quota and AST is our newest chapter so they are growing by leaps and bounds every year. ok so I think that was enough info for one post
does anyone else have some recruitment info about their campus? C'mon, I know ya'll are out there!
