Informal Recruitment-Are you ready?

For most chapters formal recruitment is finally over.   However, recruitment never stops. Many chapters host informal recruitment events throughout the fall and in the Spring semester. Here are some fun ideas that will get your chapter noticed on campus before you begin recruiting again.

1. Wear letter shirts. Wearing letters to class and around campus shows non-greek students how proud you are of your sorority.  If your entire chapter wears them on the same day it is a great way to be noticed across campus.

2. Have lunch gatherings on campus. Decide on a time and have as many chapter members as possible all meet and eat together.  Ask chapter members to bring along potential new members. This is a very informal way to meet people and the potential  new member won’t feel as overwhelmed.

3. Use facebook. Everyone checks facebook more times each day than they would like to admit. Encourage your chapter members to post positive things about activites your doing or why they love being at ___. As people see these they will soon be asking how they can join.
