InCursive's Recruitment in Wonderland!

[ISUKappa]

We had calling cards when I went through recruitment in 1997. They were used as attendance cards; we would generally put them in a bowl as we entered the house and an adviser/alum would go through the cards and check them against a list provided to the house by Panhellenic to make sure the correct women were at the party.

That's exactly how it's done at Cornell nowadays too. The recruitment chair greets the PNMs at the front door, they give her their calling card, and we have to check it against Panhel's attendance list for our party and submit it to them. The PNMs usually keep the cards around their necks on the name tag necklace Panhel supplies so they don't get lost, though we've had MANY PNMs show up to parties missing cards

We call those cards "tea cards" and they are VERY helpful..for our chapter at least!
