Fall Formal Recruitment...

[AlphaFrog]

Ours were earlier than November, because I remember being initated on a Thursday and taking office that Saturday. Initiation was in November, but officer elections were late October, I believe.

Ya ours are in November. You're probably right but with our chapter we're at about half of total and so in the past couple years girls have been running unopposed. And I am the assistant to VP PR and Recruitment this year because I am kinda "in training" if you will for next year.
Recruitment is something we're trying to strengthen and a lot of our girls are feeling kinda down when it comes to bringing in new girls. I know I am way ahead of normal schedule but the reason is that last year the VP or PR Recruitment left out of no where on the 2nd day of recruitment. Completely left with the girls confused so I have the thought that if I had ideas started by the time I was running the girls would feel more confident and comfortable giving me that position.

But thanks. I can wait a while. I'm just brainstorming and I am having a hard time being creative so I thought I'd come for advice.

Haha oh PS. By the 2007-2008 school year, it's mainly 2008. We have elections in Nov of 2007... so that was my mistake

And don't worry. I fully intend on getting imput on all my ideas from the chapter. I just want a broad list of ideas that I can narrow down and maybe have the chapter vote on or something

Alright, now I think we're more on the same wavelength. I was just totally taken aback by the "I'm planning on being..." instead of "I'm wanting to run for...". It seemed presumptuous. Like I said, get through THIS YEAR'S recruitment (if you need any ideas, feel free to ask!) and then we'll help you with next year's recruitment....

Well as a fellow ASA I commend you for your initiative because I have learned that most college girls don't have any at all! You are right for brainstorming now for ideas and 'putting the cart before the horse' because when you go into elections the other girls will know that you are serious about this position and won't let them down. As far as the committees....what a bunch of crap! We think we have committees but most of the time they say they will help and show up but end up MIA!! So the only person you can truly rely on is yourself and that is fine...get input from the sisters at meetings but know you will be the one staying up all night working on recruitment.
Good luck with everything!
