Recruitment woes!!!!
Hello all! I am an old poster with a new name...my old posting name was Blaire, so for those whom I haven't spoken with in a while, Please forgive me!!!! Once you read this message, you may see why I have been MIA!!!! This thread probably would best fit in the random one, but it looked a little full...so I posted it here...so if anyone else has any woes, pass them on!!!!!!
Last November, I was elected Panhellenic President of my university....everything was going smoothly until they fired our Greek life Director in June. We changed our Recruitment dates to fall before school starts so that it would be less stressful...yeah right!!!
We currently have 295 girls signed up to go through recruitment...and about 20 more that are sending in their payments. We worked it out so that 89 girls can live on campus (if they were already living on campus in the fall)...but 113 signed up!!!! So now we are dealing with where we are going to put the extra 20 girls (talked to housing, they said we were on our own...no help at all!!!! So we thought hey, we'll put them in hotel rooms...nope. The parents flipped (although, to be fair, I can't say I blame them in the least!!!!) So we're dealing with that. We constantly have the advisors on our backs....more numbers, more numbers, more numbers.
Recruitment starts in 4 days...needless to say, I am pretty much beside myself. Although recruitment really isn't my "show" (or my position, if you want to get technical) the recruitment chair has really needed me, so of course I've pitched in. But I guess I am just overwhelmed...I am concerned that the chapters are going to try and pull some stuff over on us b/c they feel like we can't do anything about it...we have strict "no frills" policies for the first two nights...oh and did I mention that our housing won't let us back into our chapter rooms for bid day? We have to have it outside in the middle of August in Tennessee!!!
Wow...I feel much better! Thanks for listening!!!!!!!!!
