At Eastern Michigan, we call our recruitment counselors "Gamma Rho Chi's," or Rho Chi's for short. We have to deaffiliate from our chapter about 1 month before formal recruitment begins.
We are responsible for hosting different kick-off events to announce that recruitment is coming and to sign-up PNMs.
During recruitment, each counselor is partnered up with another counselor from a different chapter. We are then assigned a group of PNMs, with the number of them depending on the number of ladies who sign-up for recruitment. Each day we meet with our girls before the parties to let them know what parties they have and when.
We are there to answer any questions the girls have about recruitment, sorority life, and the sororities themselves. We are also available 24/7 for the girls to call us if they are having trouble with anything at all- it doesn't even have to be about recruitment.
When I was a Rho Chi last year, my partner and I made up a survival kit. It contained combs, tissues, mirrors, mints, tampons, deodorant, and anything else we could think of that a PNM may need in between parties. We also provided our girls with folders so they could keep all the info sheets they received in one place and pens so that they could write down any comments they had in between parties.
Overall, Rho Chi's are there for support and guidance. We have to be unbiased in our answers, but we help the girls make decisions by letting them talk out their concerns. It's a lot of fun and a lot of work all in the same time.
