Recruitment Advice for a New Recruitment Chair?

[AOII Angel]

I agree with AXOrushadvisor. The key is to get comfortable talking to five girls and getting a conversation flowing in that setting. As the week goes on that ratio will get better and allow you to have more natural conversations. You need to figure out how to involve multiple PNMs in a conversation without leaving anyone out.

Secondly, be prepared for heartache. It will happen. There will be women who will cut you JUST BECAUSE you have fewer members than the other chapters. Don't let this get you down. Have confidence in your chapter, in your sisters and in what you have to offer.

I will caution you in the "sell" the chapter arena. Be careful that you don't come off as pushy or desperate. It can be a fine line. Normal conversations are okay during recruitment, but every conversation can be turned at some point to how AEPhi has impacted you in some area. Try to make the sell natural and not forced.

Good luck!
