The e-mail went out today. The first response came within minutes:
"NO, I HATE FRAT SHIT. DON"T SEND ME ANYTHING ELSE"

I hope that's not indicative of the general response.

Eh...eff them. That's that 10% you'll hear about that wouldn't join if their life depended on it. Who you're after are the 10% who'll join no matter what, and the 80% who are undecided. (Or, so I was told as an undergrad)

If you only got one response like that, that would be super. I'd be prepared for, like AF said, about 5 - 10%. Be sure to strike them from your list, and soldier on!

It is never easy as I have done the same thing with my $$$ and time!

I started @ 12 years ago working to build our email site.

I still get, kick backs as they do not update their emails??

But now finally, I am getting some back to show changes!!!

I love the ones who either say I am not getting anything! Dah, you do not let me know!

Or, I am tired of getting emails! Then some complain that they do not know what is going on!

Then a Brother made the comment and emailed it out,

"If You do not read the eamils, then how do you think you will find anything out?"


Stupid is as Stupid does!

Just keep working at it! It does take time, work and $$! :Yours:!

Congratulations, you have made the first step and have some feed back. Ask them to help in getting emails. As it grows, find someone in each pledge class who is active and see if they keep in touch with others that they may have and feed you.

It will take a while so stick to it!
