10 RECRUITMENT PITFALLS

1. 'Eventitis' is a Deadly Disease
It's a nasty disease causing infected chapters to believe they have to spend a lot of time and money hosting big events to make new friends. The recruitment chairman is not the caterer. Put the chicken wings back! You need to utilize things offered in your community and campus as 'interaction" opportunties not some 'reception" at your house.

2. People Don't Join Sororities
People join people, not sororities. They eventually develop an affinity for the organization over time. Build a relationship rather than selling the organization.

3. Fliers Suck
Marketing, Public Relations, and Advertising are NOT results-producing activities.

4. Stop Asking, "How do we get women to the house?"
It's about you going to them, NOT them coming to you. Instead ask "how can I get my sisters out of the house."

5. Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail
A plan that is not written down in detail is not a plan, it's a pipe dream. Furthermore, a plan that only includes two weeks of the semester is a plan for failure.

6. Your T-shirt Says What?
Got an image problem? Check your wardrobe. The only people you are recruiting with "cool" t-shirts are screen printers.

7. Technology is a Distraction
It's a tool not a solution.

8. Tradition = Mediocrity
Do what you've always done and you'll get what you always got. Is that what you want? If the tradition didn't start with your founders, question it!

9. Blame Game
Money, PHC, administration, alumnae, headquarters, housing, and deadbeat members are only a problem if you are waiting for someone else to do the work for you.

10. Free Food ... then what?
Great. You got them to show up. What next?
