HELP! No girls through formal

[redrose1913]

Once again thank you for all of your support and ideas.

Our COB last thursday was a resounding success, and was really inspiring to alot of the members.We had 8 potentials and plan on extending bids to all of them when they come to our recruitment drive next week. They were a refreshing group of girls, and all of them are friends of sisters already.

They are quality girls and I'm so excited.

In the mean time, we are eating with potentials and girls from classes everyday, keeping them involved, inviting them to our service project on Sat and then the rec. parties next week.

They are all very excited about it as well.

The dorm swarming is like something we do here, except we put flyers under doors and in mailboxes, etc. We have a small campus and I don't think they would be opposed to us visiting open rooms.

Thanks again

Greek Love

I think you might be right on with the small campus distinction. While I particularly don't think this is the best way to recruit women because in the end women don't feel as "chosen" as they should (I think that randomly chatting with girls at campus functions is slightly more natural), this was something done by groups quite frequently on my campus, also fairly small where random people often would talk to you if you left your door open. We called it "dorm storming" though. It didn't have quite the door-to-door salesman connotations on our campus (nor does it sound like it was taken that way on your campus). Like I said, I don't think it is one of the best ways, but it certainly isn't perceived as completely weird on every campus.
