Time for RECRUITMENT!!!!!!!!!

This will be Stockton's first time with Formal Recruitment!! AHHHH!!!!!!

Personally, I'm nervous. I wanted to be a rho chi (or whatever we call them now a days), but was basically nicely begged not be because I know the most about formal...which is scary, cause I know almost nothing. Even though we will have a field consultant (which, btw we are picking up from the lovely ladies of Alpha Alpha chapter...I still don't know how that is working) I'm still kinda stressing about it- and I'm not even an officer anymore!!!!

Anyway, when is your spring recruitment? is is formal or cob?

discuss, discuss

and be prepared for me to be asking A LOT of questions on this bored in the comming weeks!!!

DL,

CARA

Formal starts on 1/27 and we have an FC too. Laura Hamilton. She'll be with us for Rounds 1 & 2 but not Pref.

Oh DolphinChica - we were thinking of sending her down to you via Amtrack. We did that with Princeton a few years back. We can get her into Penn on the LIRR, but then we'll have to figure out what trains go down to where you are. Unless you guys have any other ideas. Thanks!

Good Luck to both of your chapters!

Good luck, you guys!

We have informal rush in late January/early February. Usually about half the chapters on campus participate, but this year quota during formal rush was much lower than usual and so a lot of chapters aren't at total -- we could have as many as 10 out of 11 chapters doing informal rush, though it will probably end up being lower than that.

I'm excited and nervous, but we're usually pretty good at informal rush.

Thanks for the support!

Right now Alpha Alpha is at 26, total is 45 so we can take 21 new members (keep your fingers crossed!). As of the end of last semester 42 PNMs had signed up for formal making quota 10+ (as long as they all show up)! The new rule at Adelphi is that freshmen can only go through formal, they can't COB. So we our goal is to pick up at least 5 sophomores/juniors in COB.

Our formal schedule is:

1/26 - meeting with PNMs, Rho Gammas & Panhel Eboard to go over rules and split into groups

1/27 - Round 1 - informal "getting to know you" round

1/28 - Round 2 - Philanthropy night

1/30 - Pref

1/31 - Bid Night!

Hey guys-

I PM'd the people who have been active on our board.

Since we don't have a tradition for Pref Night, a few people asked me to write something. But I'm one of those people who HATE showing their work.

So can you guys read it and give me some input? I'm not even ready to put it on the board yet, hence the PMs.

Give me honest feedback...I have to present this to my chapter on Tuesday...AHHHH!!

TriDeltaGal · #7 01-15-2004, 09:17 PM

DolphinChica, all I can say is Bravo!

I PMed you!

goldendelta · #8 01-28-2004, 10:57 PM

Ahhhh! Stupid snow! Only 13 PNMs showed up yesterday, so many had to miss Round 1 because of the snow. Round 2 was postponed till tomorrow. The girls that didn't show yesterday were waived the "must go to all parites" rule because of the weather, so they should be there tomorrow. I hope so, cause freshmen aren't allowed to COB. The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow, but I heard more snow for Friday.

Keep your fingers crossed that more potentials come tomorrow!

Good Luck GoldenDelta and to our Alpha Alpha chapter!

Sending good delta vibes across country!

DolphinChicaDDD · #10 01-29-2004, 07:18 PM

Tonight is registration night!!!
AHHH!!
I get to go and find out what quota is, becuase I'm Panhel, but tonight all the PNM just hear the rules and such. I'm excited to find out what quota is...last year it was 10. But since we came on campus, we're hoping more girls come out for formal.
And on monday- ALL THE FUN STARTS!!!!

TriDeltaGal · #11 01-30-2004, 12:20 AM

Good Luck DolphinChica and the rest of our Stockton Tridelts!

I hope that some of my info. helped and keep us updated!

goldendelta · #12 01-31-2004, 04:42 PM

I just got back from bid matching and Alpha Alpha has 3 wonderful new members! We got quota!

COB starts on Tuesday and we hope to pick up some more girls.

TriDeltaGal · #13 02-01-2004, 02:12 PM

Congrats Goldendelta!

DolphinChicaDDD · #14 02-01-2004, 05:43 PM

thanks to everyone who gave me info to help us with formal!!

we had a disappointing show on thur night for registration. we decided it was due to the snow and the fact that we had a 3 day week last week, so really only had 2 days to publicize. so panhellenic decided to have a table on monday where anyone who didn't know/couldn't decide about recruitment a chance to sign up. we're hoping to get at least 15 more girls. last year, 60 girls went through formal, not counting the 35-40 who came to our COB event. Everyone was hoping for 75 girls this year, and only 45 showed up.

eta: I WILL MISS ALL OF FORMAL RECRUITMENT!!! AAHH!!! after planning this week since october. health services told me to go home...how sad is that??!!

congrats to adelphi!!!!!

DolphinChicaDDD · #15 02-12-2004, 05:44 PM

Just wanted to let everyone know how recruitment went...

We only got 6 girls during formal. Quota was 9, we were a little disappointed that 3 girls declined. (Which is another thing that annoys me...if you know you are not going to accept a bid from tri delta or anyone else, why bother writing the sorority down? thats 3 other spots other girls may have wanted)

But....

In the grand tradition of our chapter we just COB'd 3 girls today, and are possibly looking into more. One girl who dropped out of formal, and possibly another scholarship risk. We already took on one, but everyone loves this other girl, so they want to bend the rules. And these are the same rules we voted on last week. The membership selection committee is trying to get into contact with our CDO...I have a feeling our 'short' chapter meeting after formal pledging tonight isn't going to be so short....

Hope everyone else's recruitment went well!!
