A Different Kind of Live Recruitment Story

[ASTalumna06]

Thanks again everyone for your support!

Last night was our last scheduled recruitment event. The Recruitment Director had been told by some PNMs that they felt like they didn’t know about half the sisters, and they wanted to meet and talk to more of them. In order to solve this problem (and also to solve our bumping issue), the Recruitment Director suggested doing a kind of “speed dating” thing, so that every PNM could talk to every sister. It really helped out, and some of the PNMs have already expressed that they thought it was a really good idea. I know that at the very least, it helped everyone to learn names better!

After that, the party turned into an informational night. The sisters posted on the wall a list of everything that we consistently do every year (business meetings, formal, sister lunch, convention, pageant, JDRF Walk, Habitat, etc.) so that the PNMs could ask questions about them... and there were a lot of questions! And they had some about a lot of other things, too. I started to remember how clueless I was about the whole process when I first started attending recruitment events!

We still had a very good turn out... 10 PNMs. Some others had class and work, so they weren’t able to attend, but the sisters feel as if they know most of the PNMs very well.

I was also happy to hear that the sisters are going to the Erie Otters (hockey) game on Saturday, and they were inviting all of the PNMs to go with them.

Bid Day is Tuesday!
