Recruiting for the new colony
Hey everyone! I'm one of the new Phis from the colony coming to Elmhurst College. We were formerly a local sorority, and we have about ten girls from that organization coming through to Phi Mu. The nationals are planning to recruit fifty more in February so that we can reach max on campus. Meanwhile formal recruitment is already done for the year, and even trying to get girls to sign up for that is a challenge.
Long story short, I was wondering if any of you girls have been through the colonization process and how recruiting worked out for you. Our girls right now are serving on exec board in both Panhel and Greek Council, as well as co-chairing Walk for Hope (a huge campus wide Philanthropy which donates to cancer research). So, we're definitely putting the name out there now. Additionally a lot of the guys from Lambda Chi Alpha are willing to help.
I guess I'm just nervous because the idea of getting 50 girls in one shot (without comprimising quality of course) is mind-blowing to me. Also, we would really appreciate any advice you have on what worked well for you chapter. Thanks!
