2008-2009 Alpha Xi Delta Recruitment Results

[leslietfj]

So it's totally within your realm to end up with a quota group of new members by the time all is said and done. Possibly even this semester still!

That's great. Here's one little tidbit that I don't know if you're being told in recruitment training. You have to ASK for the sale, the vote, whatever you want to call it. I think Sigma has always been better at that in informal than in formal, but #1 it's critical, and #2 it's a huge life lesson to learn. You've got to learn how to do that comfortably in business and sorority life is a great place to hone those skills.

ex., I want you to be my sister, I am so looking forward to all the things we will do over the next 4 years, and for the rest of our lives, won't it be great when you decide who your first roommate will be in the house? Please put us on the top of your list! There's a million ways to say it, but you have to say it!

Congratulations and continued good luck, and keep your website current! It's the only way most of us alums have of knowing what's going on, and we really do care.

i have no clue what youre talking about there! lol.

but yeah we were doing really awesome during recruitment so we were pretty surprised on bid day when we learned that we had only gotten 14 girls
Because after the first day, 40 girls had us as #1 and 400 girls came back (yes, there was a lot of doubling).
the next day, 156 girls had us as #1 (i wrote all this down, i do not have that amazing of a memory. ) 300 came back
By Pref Night, 90 girls had us as #1 and 136 came back
so we were a little disappointed only getting 14 but they are a pretty amazing bunch so it was okay

On Pref night, soem girls double recruited (2 of us, 4 of them). Me & my roomie double preffed 9 girls. 5 of them joined. we were pretty awesome
