Local trying to become a national

[sigmatauiota]

We have done a whole recruitment based on the fact we are trying to colonize and got 3 women to pledge. We have tried a variety of things to get women interested but it hasn't gone as well as we hoped.

In the colonization process we are just in step one which is where you have to basically ask the current NPC organizations if they would be ok with another NPC organization coming to campus. We can't formally tell organizations that we are looking to expand until step 3.

If you haven't asked the current NPC members about your group becoming NPC, how can you be "doing the paperwork"? No NPC group would allow you to start the colonizing process if the school and the college panhellenic haven't given the OK. Unless you mean the paperwork within your school and college panhellenic.

I got the impression that the paperwork was the request to campus panhellenic.

Gotcha, then you need to go the route of bringing friends in. Find out what makes you different from the other chapters on campus.

One of the things our chapter (national) did was to write down a list of adjectives that describe us. We used that to market ourselves as well as a standard to hold PNMs up to. But if you're struggling during more formal recruitment, then you need to get out there. Participate, on campus, in your letters. Everyone makes a "freshman friend" and brings her to a sisterhood event. HAVE sisterhood events. Lots of them.

And remember that recruitment is 24/7/365
