Hi everyone! I came here looking for advice because I really really want to be elected recruitment chair of my chapter this fall. Here's some background:
-My sorority is the smallest on campus and we are weak during spring formal recruitment
-Overall pretty strong sisterhood but we have a reputation as being "weird" and "accepting everyone"
-I am currently social chair on Panhellenic and on recruitment committee, so I have leadership experience
Does anyone have any tips for how to get elected recruitment chair? I really want my chapter to know that they can trust me. I have a bunch of ideas that I think can change our outcome and I think I can change our chapter's reputation for the better but I obviously have to win their vote (I'm not saying there is anything that would cause me NOT to though!) I love my sisters so so much but it bothers everyone that we don't do well during recruitment. The girls we got this past spring are AWESOME but we lost so many of the ones we wanted to a newer chapter that doesn't have a reputation yet. In the spring of 2014 before I joined (I joined fall 2014 informally), our chapter got almost 40 girls and was barely under quota. This year we only got 25 I think, and at least 6 came from informal recruiting AFTER formal was over.
Any advice would be appreciated! Even if it's not about getting elected, but actually helping my chapter's rep! Thanks
