Can anyone share their successful membership-growing methods? As we go into our 3rd year, we're looking to expand our memberships from the 12 NPC groups we've got now.

How do you handle requests for recs? We are in NJ & most sorority chapters in NJ wouldn't require recs, we'd like to accommodate the collegiate women from NJ who attend schools in areas which do require recommendations.

Thanks all!

What we have done with our APH is when we get updated contact info we also ask for a rec chair as well. If a group doesn't have a specific person for that we ask for a contact person anyway. That way when a request comes in we can quickly filter the PNM's info back out.

As many of you know by now, or can figure out, I am in Dubai. There are 2 very good American high schools here, and most of the kids go off to the American University of their choice. I'd like to host an event to explain sorority life and recruitment to the senior girls, and do a rec writing event/party.

I don't particularly want to start an AP chapter (I'm already up to my eyeballs in volunteerism) but I think this event would fun, and tie in well with my involvement in the American Women's Association. So can anyone give me some ideas of how this could/should work? I have a few ideas in my head, but I'd like details on successful events. Is there a minimum number of NPC sororities that I should have representatives of to have it be generally valuable to the girls?

This event would have to take place DURING the school year because most students go away for the summer, from right after school gets out. The good news is I should have good support from the PTAs of both schools. Thanks for your help and suggestions!

You might see if any of the mother's of the high school girls are also NPC members and would be interested in helping. That might give you a bigger base of people helping and partiticpating.
