Honestly, our alumnae weren't much better than us at recruiting. Our largest new member class was around 12/13 girls. Many of them were recruited through partying and drinking, we're trying to move away from that because usually the girls recruited in that manner were much more interested in partying than being a good leader in the chapter. The past couple of years we have been trying to recruit better. We've help welcome back pizza parties each semester, we've held sign ups for girls to join us on our philanthropy events, we've held movie nights and Glee parties. We're really trying to get our name out there.
We're up to 4 new members for this semester. We have two more COB events next week. We're hoping to get at least 6 new members, but 8 is really the number we need so we aren't in trouble with housing.
I would like to add that the other chapter that has been helping us sent us flowers before our first two COB events and their president has been texting our president almost daily for updates. We have never felt so much love from a NPC chapter on campus. It's nice to feel like someone has our back. If anything positive has come from this formal recruitment, it is finally feeling like at least one NPC values us and knows that we deserve to be on campus because as a local we've never felt that way.
