It's RECRUITMENT TIME!
The Phi Lambda Chapter at Emory University starts their informal recruitment process tomorrow. This week, a group of about 50 women will be attending events to get to know our sisterhood and what we stand for. Plus, the events are super fun. Huge props to my Vice President of Recruitment for planning events that serve everyone.
The first night is a Progressive Dinner.
First impressions are very important. Like a first date. Make sure your clothes are flattering and your make up is on. Have conversation topics ready in the event you get stuck with a dead end conversation, and keep it light. Find a way to sell the sorority the first night, and you have front-loaded the hard work for the sisters talking to this woman throughout the week. Help a sista out!
To celebrate Informal Recruitment, I ordered I Heart Recruitment; The Eight Steps to Limitless Possibility for Sororities by Colleen Coffey and Jessica Gendron.
I'm hoping to gather some useful nuggets of knowledge to impart on and invigorate the collegiate sisters are Emory. You have to keep their spirits high and their standards higher.
Today's lesson: Know the basics.
Simple concept. Know what makes your organization tick. For us, its the sisters who make up the chapter and their will to make themselves and their chapter better. People and purpose.
In working towards bettering your chapter and leaving a legacy, work towards strengthening these two things within your organization. To me, this screams Recruitment and Philanthropy. It may scream something else later while I'm trying to go to sleep (and still can't), but for now that's what I'm sticking with.
Recruit the future leaders of your chapter, and be sure they align their core values with our own. If they do not value Justice, Sisterhood, and Love, then maybe we are not the right fit. If they are not prepared to be an active member of something as great as our sisterhood, maybe they belong in someone else's house.
I found this great Do's and Don'ts graphic on Pinterest for a quick (and fun) reminder for tomorrow's first event!
