It's the mostt wonderful time of the yeaaaar- Recruitment Week!

Soo, we're all getting excited about Pi Chis coming back to us and NEW MEMBERS joining us on SUNDAAAY! Woohooooo! That being said, here's some important things you may want to read...

1. CHECK E-MAILS, CHECK E-MAILS, CHECK E-MAILS, ANDDD CHECK E-MAILS
- Really cannot stress this one enough. This is such an important part of making sure you are on top of all things regarding recruitment. Check your e-mail at breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack, etc. CHECK YOUR E-MAILS!

2. FILL OUT SPONSORSHIP FORMS.
- If we want to have a successful recruitment, this NEEDS to get done. Allison has sent an e-mail (wow, look at that, an e-mail... maybe you should go check it!) and it has a list of PNMs AND the high school they attended! How convenient is that? Fillll em out, bring them to practice, which is WEDNESDAY AT 7.

3. DRESS REHEARSAL IS TOMORROW at 7 in the Campus Center.
- Bring your moms and smiling, recruitment ready faces!:)

4. CDC Courtney is flying into town today!
- Introduce yourself to her! Also, directors and VPs, check your e-mail to see what time you're meeting with her in the next week. Make her feel comfortable, invite her to hangout, don't keep her cooped up in the chapter room, that's no fun! I know you are all fun and outgoing girls!:)

5. ASK ALLISON IF YOU CAN HELP HER IN ANY WAY!
- She has sooooo much to do for recruitment, don't put it all on her! Would you like that? I bet not! Soo, help her as much as you possibly can!

6. Check, check, triple check, and check again.
- Make sure you know when you need to be at recruitment each day and what you have to wear! Don't be late because Blair WILL not spare anyone! Be there on time and ready to recruit!

7. WEAR YOUR LETTERS!
- This is the time to PR, only 2 days left until recruitment starts! WEAR THOSE LETTERS, LADIES!

I think that's alllll for now... Let's have a good week of school and a great week of recruitment!
I'll leave y'all with this quote...

"Go into the world and do well, but more importantly go into the world and DO GOOD!"

Helpful Tips for PNMs!:)

It’s that time of year again, formal recruitment has completely taken over our lives and we have all been preparing for one of the biggest weeks of the year (Well, for Greeks anyway).

Last year I was a PNM, so it’s a very welcomed change to be on the other side of the situation!


If you’re a PNM, here’s some advice:
Don’t be nervous, the members are just as nervous as you are, you’re the future of their organization.

  1. Be yourself.
  2. Be open-minded, try not to get stuck on going XYZ or worry about reputations, half of the things you hear are rumors.
  3. Have a positive attitude- If you’re happy to be there, that chapter is going to be happy to have you back.
  4. Don’t worry about awkward conversations, we’ve practiced for hours on end & have a surplus of questions to ask you.
  5. Ask questions! We want to see that you’re interested!

Hope that helps! Best of luck to all of my DG’s & other Panhellenic women out there preparing for or starting recruitment soon!!
