Good luck!

These are all good ideas but what may work for your chapter (it has worked well for ours) is simply meeting up with PNMs for "dates", i.e. 2-3 sisters meeting with 1-2 PNMs for lunch or coffee and just having a conversation. For PNMs that are unsure about Greek life, this could be a good option for them. As Phired Up states, "people don't join organizations, they join people". Therefore if they find that they can get along well with a few people from the chapter, they may be much more willing to give your group a try. As I said, it's worked for us. Best of luck!
