I love some of these suggestions, especially about the connecting to the members. That's so important.

I second, third, fourth, whatever on the cry-fest notes. Keep the info touching and make sure that PNMs can relate to what is being said.. for example, maybe women who all COBed or joined in an untraditional way wouldn't be your best examples for a Formal Recruitment Pref.

Personalizing is great, which leades me to prepare! If the ceremony is well-planned and practiced, the chapter can focus on the PNMs more than what to do/say next. If the members have done their research on their PNMs, they will connect better and personalize better. If the house is decorated tastefully and with class, the mood will be set. Have the choir practice, have the members practice, and brainstorm ideas with anyone in your chapter who went through formal recruitment.

Good luck!
