Infoview question
How to make yourself stand out in an info view with the nationals colonizing a new chapter at your school?

Good- Dress business casual and look put together- conservative makeup and neat appearance. Have a resume handy- again professional and businesslike. Be friendly and respectful. Come with a few questions to ask the infoviewer. Be friendly and interact with the other girls. Be ready to talk about yourself.
Bad- dress like after the infoview you are going clubbing. Wear heavy makeup. Chew gum. Show disinterest and speak to no one other than the TLCs and the national officers.

Info view? Is this a new word?

Be genuine. Show interest. Have a few activities ready to highlight during the interview. (Like 2 or 3 examples). Pick ones that show your leadership potential and campus involvement.

I think specifics always help people stand out. Making a connection with the interviewer is always important because they are more likely to remember you. Talk about what you love to do and what you are passionate about, because you will be enthusiastic and alive and that will help you "stand out". Good luck.

I'm not familiar with the term either; but, it looks like there's at least one NPC group which uses this term for colony recruitment.

I think it's short for informational interview. Similar to "volun-told", which is used commonly in my group.

No, I got it immediately. I've just not seen it in common use. Alpha Gamma Delta has been known to refer to their colony interviews as "infoviews".

Google Elevator Pitch. This is a process that takes work and practice, but it's a skill that you will use innumerable times in your life. The sooner you master it the better.
Have 3 stories ready to tell about yourself; funny, touching, whatever. It might be something you did last summer or a day with your best friend or when you won the cheerleading competition. But charming, short, concise. Again it's a skill that once mastered will serve you well for the rest of your life. More than a checklist of experiences, it should give your partner an understanding of YOU. I have told the story about when I fell from a trapeze. It's funny, stressful, tells a story about a job I had and shows strengths as well as one critical weakness, which in this case is a literal lack of upper body strength. Does anyone need to know a story about 10 minutes of my life 30 years ago? No. But it always makes people laugh and definitely makes me memorable. And being that it highlights a horrendously embarrassing moment, it shows a lighter, less intense side of myself.

Alpha Gamma Delta does not currently use that term and has not used it for several years.

The S.T.A.R. approach works great if you're asked about leadership and problem-solving.
S = Situation
T = Task
A = Action
R = Result
What was the situation/problem/issue? What were your calculations on how to solve the issue? What actions were taken? (Were you leading the actions?) What was the result?

Thanks for the update. I saw it as recently as 2 years ago at a colonization in my region. It may have just been an anomaly or something.
