A Different Kind of Live Recruitment Story

[greekhopefull]

I just started reading this yesterday, but it's so great to see how your chapter has grown in such a short time! Best of luck!

Again, it's difficult to follow recruitment from beginning to end now, but here's an update of how everything played out in the end:

Recruitment is partially structured. In order to receive a bid, a PNM must attend the initial kick-off event, plus at least 2 events for each of the chapters, and she must be invited to Preference.

Last year, Panhellenic decided to lower total from 40 to 35, and I'm happy to say that 2 of the chapters are above that!

The numbers for Fall '11 are:

Alpha Sigma Alpha - 16 (40 total members)
Alpha Sigma Tau - 15 (39 total members)
Theta Phi Alpha - 15 (27 total members)

I should have some pictures soon!

That's awesome!!! So proud of your chapter from going to struggling to thriving in just a few years. I'm sure they couldn't have done it without you

Oh, and here's a fun fact that the Greek Life Coordinator posted on Facebook the other day:

Today, there are more sorority women at Penn State Behrend than there were total fraternity and sorority members when she started there in 2007.

I started reading this thread 2 years ago, and love to see updates!

Perfect example of how historically struggling with numbers chapter "get's it"...pre-plans and executes recruitment events well, steps out from their usual comfort zone, thinks "out-side of the box" for fun informal events...and never, never gives up!

How exciting to see how the chapter has grown. Well done ladies!
