It seems like all the chapters are doing amazing!!! I wonder if the new way recruitment numbers are done is helping everyone (and not just Alpha Xi, but all NPC). I read a little bit in the Quill and then misplaced it. I was even in the last issue for the first time and now I don't have a copy... Bummer. But Yay for all of those new baby Xi's.

[When Doves Cry]

we just started COBing for the winter pledge class and we already got 3 cute girls! hooray

[leslietfj]

So where does that put Sigma this year for new members and for chapter total?

It sounds like you are doing great this year. Congratulations on that, and keep up the enthusiasm!

[When Doves Cry]

Well for the first pledge class (getting initiated this coming Friday!!) has 16 new members

the 2nd/Winter pledge class has 4 girls so far. we are still COB-ing though so we will probably get more (Our goal is 10)

chapter total (without winter pledge class): 48

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.

By the way, you should proudly update your figures here on Greek Chat on the various lists of new member classes.

Thanks!

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

Iota Lambda chapter just finished informal recruitment on Friday and got two new women who, combined with the girls we COB'ed earlier in the semester, puts us at 4 new members!!!! We've exceeded our national quota for the first time ever (I think)!

[leslietfj]

counting counting. I was all over that as an active. I knew exactly how many I rushed and how many came back. I thought it would be really helpful if the girls knew specifically how they were doing, but like so many things I don't agree with, it was seen as negative or too competitive. How can you improve if you don't know what you're doing, right or wrong?

Yeah, the numbers as I heard them seemed like you had to have an insane pref night. But that's where ASKING THE GIRL TO PLEDGE is the thing. A lot of those girls probably got a lot stronger heart sell from the other chapters. And with that big a crowd, it's pretty hard to pull off. I probably would have chosen the 20 girls you wanted most and come hell or high water rushed them individually. Even if it meant tripling some others. Unfortunately, you can't do an exit interview to find out where you need work. But you can make up lost ground in informal! Let me know when more numbers come in. I'm sure you're not done for the semester.

And congratulations to you Iota Lambda! It's a great feeling, isn't it?

Yeah, each morning of recruitment, our MVP told us how many were coming back & how many had us as #1. It made us feel really confident

the fall class was initiated last night
