Depending on the campus, there may be a higher constitiuency of students who might not be otherwise quite aware of the existence of Greeks and its practices. There might also be no "formal" method of advertising informal recruitment for girls who went bidless, or for some reason did not go through formal rush. Some girls might have been interested but not have known where to look.




Um, what do YOU think about it? Do you know why the group did not reach total? Does it necessarily make them lesser because they have fewer members than they "ought to" have? I don't know what the situation is, but it seems like you might not know much about it, either.

Why not check them out and see what they are about? You may just like what you see.

I'm actually not a PNM anymore. I AM a sister of the chapter that is wanting to put out fliers. We were just chartered last year. This fall was the first time we participated in fall Formal Recruitment. (First "pledge" class, besides the Founding class).

The only reason I found out about recruitment was through fliers. All the houses had fliers and I went to some of the houses but not all. I was not close to any member in DG but the first time I went one girl made me feel so welcome and at home that I knew I found my sorority So my conclusion is fliers=good.

If you are just getting started - I would try to go with the flow. If other groups on campus flier, have at it. If they don't, don't. Depending on the campus, new groups are sometimes looked at askance anyway - the last thing you want to do is draw negative attention.

If fall formal didn't go as well as you'd hoped and you feel you need more training in recruitment (which you probably do - most new groups do) call up your HQ and tell them you need help and support in this area. That's what they're there for. That's what you pay dues for. It is up to them to help you become strong, not just give you the charter and let you sink or swim on their own. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE HELP. Don't be afraid to ask.
