I think in some ways we all recruit--just not blatantly like setting up a table in the quad and soliciting people to come over and hear our spiel. If I meet a lady of quality and she is not Greek, I often ask here if she ever considered it. Depending on her answer I may tell her more about Delta and ask if I could put her on our list of invitees to our next RUSH, although it may be years away.

But I see this happening more on the alumnae level than the collegiate level.

I will normally let her know why I chose Delta then tell her about our activities in the community, usually the next public event, and our national or chapter website then its up to her. If she wants to find out more, ie RUSH, then she has to take the next steps.

I asked a guy that i know who is a ph.d candidate. he said that he always wanted to be a member in undergrad but did not have the resources to do much but go to school. he was pleased that i asked him and he will now be on our spring line.

i also find that many people are unaware of the process and only know of misinformation which deter them from inquiring.

This more along the lines of what I would do.
