I couldn't agree more. While it sounds like a fun idea down the road, I think the main focus is getting my collegiate members comfortable and well transitioned to Formal Recruitment. Once they are consistently meeting quota and feel like they can plan and carry out Formal Recruitment blindfolded, then maybe a creative chant or song might be appropriate. SO good idea...just not YET.

They have asked for Professional Development & Recruitment workshops. Personally...mastering recruitment skills takes care of a lot of the Professional development. If you can't master introductions, first impressions, conversation topics, appropriate conversation topics, and just general ease of talking to strangers...then post-college life will be quite difficult and 4 years have been wasted.

and I digress....
