So these are good practices for a group doing a more structured COB.
Be sure to advertise COB events. There may be someone on campus that would be interested but doesn't know who to contact.
-Place posters around campus.
-Create smaller posters/fliers that can be handed out to interested individuals.
Invite friends to attend events. Make the invite personal. Regardless of wither they say there interested in joining a sorority.
Invite people you don’t know all that well. Ask the person sitting next to you class. This is how one my good friend joined.
Also keep your website up to date. That means listing the dates, time and location of different events. Make sure to include a CURRENT email address of your recruitment chair. A PNM might have questions or is interested but can’t make any of your planed events. Respond in a timely fashion. It’s just polite.
When planning events make sure that PNM will be able to actually talk to people and get to know them. While movie nights are fun, it is hard to meet new people with a movie going on in the background. Do activities like spa night or dinner.
If your activity requires a special type of dress, like a self defense class, make sure that PNM’s know. The same thing goes for events that cost money. If you expect a PNM to pay make, sure they know in advance.
And last, let PNM know if they got a bid or not. Don’t leave a PNM waiting to hear back from your chapter. Let them know when you expect to get back to them, if it’s going to be awhile. If you only discuss bids during chapter meetings, tell them they should hear from you after the meeting.
