Zeta Eta actually rocks at formal, we recruit well and tend to be good at sealing the deal. However, Canadian recruitment is very different from U.S., at least at my school. For one, there are only two internationals on our campus, ourselves and Alpha Omicron Pi. For us it's all about image, we never have any type of party, pref or otherwise, where the girls all dress the same. We are not all the same and we would rather celebrate that then pretend we are. In the very beginning that makes the atmosphere so much less stressful, if you make girls wear all the same things there are gonna be girls who are a) uncomfortable or b) unhappy because hey think they're outfits are unflattering. We also have the advantage of being the sorority on campus that all the frats like, they talk us up alot throughout our recruitment when we cannot. We don't assign girls to recruiters, we have an open milling party where everyone can wander around and talk to everyone else but at no time are two sisters allowed to talk to each other without a PNM present, we are trying to foster the image of inclusiveness and welcoming and hanging out and chatting with only sisters does not do that. Decorations aren't a big deal, we take pride in the simplicity of our preference ceremony, simple but beautiful and always emotional. The Archon and Vice Archon especially try totalk to every PNM present, it makes the PNM feel important and special, especially when their names are remebered and they are more likely to join because if someone as busy as the Archon can remember thier name and take time to say hello then it is definately an open and welcoming sisterhood they would like to be apart of.
