I was thinking that we should hang letter shirts and different tees from events such as greek week, homecoming etc and string them on clothesline around the room,
I LOVE that idea! That sounds cute-you could even put those hanger shaped faces on them. (It's a cut out of face and shoulders, and you can use glitter glue or glue gun beads for earings and the shape of your lavalier for the necklaces)Decorations set the mood when people step in and see your chapter for the first time! Many PNMs go back and refer to the houses by their decorations and what they serve or HOW they serve it. For example, the Kappas served Kappa Kappa-chino at one party. How cute is THAT! Every PNM was talking about it.
The good news is your numbers, the chapter sounds really healthy.
Put those actives who can bring out the best in anyone
in the heart of the activties because if others see girls having fun-it will filter through the group.
Laughter-when people see or hear it, they want to be a part of it.
The PNMs want to look at a group of women and see a reflecton of how they see themselves.
During workshop, do you practice mini conversation like role playing good PNM, bad PNM? Most are pretty nervous. They are comparing themselves to all the other rushees so their confidence may be a little shakey. The more open ended questions the better. Think of twists to the way you ask for information like what's your major.
For example instead of "WYM?" ask, "Who did you have for English?" ------- "Oh WOW, is HE really great/easy/good/funny-Bethany had him last year!"
Where are you from." "Is it this hot/rain this much where YOU live?" It will take cooperation from your membership. Sometimes THAT's the most difficult part,yet so important.
I bet you're going to be fantastic! WHY??? Because so many people come on these boards asking for help. Instead of presenting their own positives (as you have), EVERYTHING is a negative. They shoot everyones suggestions down with-won't work-tried that-negaivity out the arse! Never explaining a thing...
Best of luck to you!
