Am I Approaching This the Right Way?

[DeltNick]

The idea of rebranding rather than repairing is something that has never been tried before. It implies open-endedness and really gives our Chapter the opportunity to take our public image in the direction that we see fitting. It really is an exciting endeavor, being able to take something from the ground up and transforming it into a nicely-sized presence on campus.

One of the things I was hoping to do was work with a more established Sorority in organizing events. Find a Sorority that has a good presence on campus and ask them to work with us in organizing events. Co-ed Greek events tend to be wildly popular at my school, so I think this could be a big help. How should I go about finding a Sorority to work with us if I don't really have any contacts in any of the Sororities at my school. Is it as simple as knocking on one's door, sitting down with them, and laying out our event idea to see if they would be keen on participating?

And the best way to get your brothers to approach and talk to potential members is to pair them up. I know that meeting and talking to someone one-on-one can be intimidating, so give everyone a "recruitment buddy" that they can use when wanting to meet and talk to someone new.

Also... Facebook is your friend! I can't emphasize how useful this can be for introducing your organization to potential members, and for keeping in touch with the ones that you know. Create a group, send mass messages, befriend guys, write short messages on their walls... It's a lot less intimidating and can be very effective.
