Smaller Groups-how can you make PNMs feel chosen?

I dunno about telling people you want them because they have potential to "help rebuild." It sounds like "we really need the numbers."

I do agree with your point about showing PNMs that what you're offering is worth having. Only remember that FR is not the only place for you to be doing that.

You need to do that BEFOR FR. It goes back to the fact that recruitment is not just one weekend in the fall. It's a year-round effort. When people start to see you during the YEAR doing things, they begin to change their perception of the chapter, and it carries over to FR.

You also have to continue to show these women that, even once they become NMs.

Yeah, you're right about the "help rebuild" bit. It's not a good way to say it. At the same time, there has to be reasons that you want that woman -- leadership or grades or shared interests or shared experiences or grades -- and telling her that specific thing and that you think she'd make a great addition to the chapter wouldn't hurt.
