Recruiting Help

[Ckley001]

There are currently 15 in the interest group. Not all of them will stay on board. About 10 of us have been really serious and taking all the necessary steps. National is on board and they suggested a flyer which We have been using but it's really hard to peak peoples interest since doesn't have a fraternity name or much in general. Our school is allowing us to expand and national is helping get the alumni together. In the meantime We were told to recruit. Everything but that is going great. I appreciate all the help or suggestions we could get.

I'm questioning the logic of a national group saying "Yes, start the interest group/colony for us, but don't put our name on the information". The would be recruiting tool #1 to let guys know what group is wishing to colonize. Quite frankly, not using the name makes zero sense.

In all honesty this sounds pretty strange if the national organization supports you bringing XYZ to campus yet don't want to be mentioned anywhere on the flyer. "We want to come to your campus, but don't tell anyone we actually want to come!" Does the group have a horrible history at your school or something?

If the national org only suggested you do flyers (which, imo, is not a great way to generating interest), I question their commitment to your group. Sigma Chi is colonizing on my campus has done almost everything ScarletBlueGold said. For example, sorority girls are changing their FB profile pics to Rush Sigma Chi in exchange for points to be used in some matter. While several girls are kind of rolling their eyes at it, it's been fairly effective in generating interest.

I Was told until I'm an official colony I am not allowed to print the letters or organization. I'm allowed to speak about it though? I don't know how that is with other organizations as an interest group. That does sound like awesome advice from ScarletBlueGold. I'm going to try that out with the other sororities and see how that goes over.

What's holding the national up from declaring you guys an official colony? Are they waiting for approval from the school?

Oh and you want to pique people's interest.

Yes I think they are waiting back on paperwork from the school. School told me it will be about 2 weeks
