It helps to bear in mind that at this point, the chapter has decided the pnms at their pref parties are worthy of membership - the focus needs to shift from both selling the chapter and evaluating the pnms to focusing on hearing what the pnms are looking for in a sisterhood, and letting the pnms know what membership in AXO will mean for THEM - how their needs will be met. It's not enough to have a Broadway-quality performance - although that should be a concern - the pnms must feel that they will find their home at AXO, that their particular needs are best met at AXO. Too often the focus is on the glitzy part of pref, and the one-on-one interaction between members and pnms is left to chance. PLAN what the rushers are going to discuss - how they will try to direct the conversation, how they will discuss their experience, how they will make the pnms feel comfortable and able to see themselves as AXOs.
