A chapter recruitment story.

Update time!

Numbers worked out so that each chapter on campus was able to offer the exact number of bids to obtain quota (ie, no additions occurred). Every chapter made quota except one chapter that missed it by one woman, and us. We offered the right amount of bids, but ended up having four women decline for whatever reason. But still, four under quota is AMAZING progress for us, so I was really proud!

Well, we had formal pledging last night, and ended up pledging eight less than we had on bid day - putting us at 12 under quota at the moment. This is still very very good for us, as we have already formally pledged more women this semester than all of last Fall semester. (My campus counts quota as having that number of NMs go through the chapters' respective formal pledging ceremony, which is why I'm putting so much emphasis on it). We begin our cob efforts this week, so hopefully we will be successful and I will have happy news to update everyone with later in the semester!

Congratulations! To help make COB a little easier, you should ask your new members if they have any friends from their classes or dorms that might like to come to events. If you're doing fun, normal things like getting together to watch a TV show that many in the chapter watch like PLL or Catfish, invite the new member class over. This would the type of event where friends (potential PNMS) could attend and feel comfortable. Work COB into what you already do. Work smarter, not harder. :-)
