Status of Your Local

[cbsflamingo]

I'm so nervous about this semester's recruitment. I'm advising my local, Mu Phi Gamma, and we have a very apathetic seeming group of girls this semester...we only got one girl last semester...and we're at a total of 9 active sisters. We used to average about 20! Any advice?

First you need to resolve the attitude of the girls in your sorority before you start recruiting outside girls. If nothing is done and you take a new pledge class, that attitude will rub off on them, or they will get a bad impression after they start pledging and decide to quit and that will further hurt your sorority. See what's causing the problems with the current members and if you have to hold a rush later in the semester to fix what's going on, so be it. I'd rather fix the problem, have everyone on the same level to take a new pledge class, and have the pledge class enjoy themselves with the current members than not fix the problem, take a pledge class and have everyone drop and maybe active members even quit. That's my advice.

Otterbein's Fraternities and Sororities are doing recruitment as we speak. Tomorrow will be Novelty Parties. Last weekend was Open House. I'm pulling for my sisters! And I'm super proud of them for reclaiming highest GPA last term .

My recently founded local, Alpha Mu Sigma, has just been recognized as a club on our campus! We do not have a recognized greek life at my school so I'm hoping this is the first step in making that possible. In less than a month, we will have our first recruitment. I'm so excited!

Congratulations!!! I know how gratifying it is to be a founder of a local sorority and how much MORE gratifying it is once you are a college recognized organization Are you looking to affiliate with a national?
