Informal Recruitment.....

[FSUZeta]

totally agree with ksuviolet. "thanks for inviting me to your event the other day. i really enjoyed meeting everyone and had a great time.", would be appropriate.

Okay well here's what I said...

Hi xxxx,

I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to your informal event last night. I had a great time and I loved meeting everyone in your house!

Thanks a lot,

xxxxx

I really hope that was okay and didn't make me look too eager or anything lol

Would it be inappropriate to email the informal recruitment chair and just be like, "Thanks for inviting me to your event the other day, I really loved your house." Like I want to stand out in any way possible! Also, if there is a house I'm interested in, would it be inappropriate to email them and just ask if they have any room in their house?

I sent every chapter a hand written thank you card when I was invited to their house for a meal (for the chapter I stayed overnight in during a campus visit, I sent them a floral arrangement of their flowers) because a) that's how I was raised b) hand written cards are memorable c) the whole chapter may know about it and that can't hurt to have something positive to remember you by. I thanked them for their hospitality, commented on something (the food item was delicious, etc.) and said I was looking forward to seeing them on campus in the future.

^ This is beautiful. I am very similar. After sending my resume's out to alumnae I know, I sent hand written thank you cards to them. And with in a couple of weeks I had recieved invitations to dinners, lunches, football games(to watch their sons), and teas, from 9 of the 15 women i sent my resume to. Handwritten Thank You notes always see genuine.
