Advice to a small chapter
I am seeking advice from those experienced in recruitment. We are struggling right now on ideas for a values based activity for our first night of formal recruitment. I have looked through other threads and haven't found what I was looking for, so I thought I would go ahead and post. If there is a thread that I can be directed to that will answer this question, that would be great.
A little background on the campus if this helps: We were installed on campus in 1923 and left campus in the 80's due to financial issues. We were reinstalled in 2010 and it has been very rocky ever since. Campus total is at 65 with the expectations of 150 going through recruitment this fall. We currently sit at 13 members with one member unavailable due to her role as a recruitment counselor. There are 4 chapters, (one has stated they are already near total and this will be the only time they can recruit, one is at 30 members and is our direct competition, and the other chapter is an unknown) We've never been able to reach quota in the years we've been back and we're expected to get at least half of quota this semester (by our national sorority).
There are four rounds per night and four nights. If PHA reaches their goal, we will have about 40 women per round the first two nights which when you do the math means we will have up to 6 PNM's to 1 or 2 active members. It's not ideal but we're making the best of it. We do run off a RFM system however it's been "modified" to fit the campus' needs (which means we get the short end of the stick when bid night comes around)
We're simply asking for help right now on ideas to get through the first night which is focused on values and philanthropy. We already have the philanthropy down, but don't know the best way to approach the values part of it. If you have any ideas that could help, we would be extremely grateful. Thank you.
