In just a matter of time, the great adventure of Greek life will be up & running in full stride. But what some folks don't realize is that this adventure is reliant on one thing to help keep it operating effectively: recruitment.
What's more, recruitment is a year-long process, not something we all of a sudden decided to bring into the spotlight during our respective Rush Weeks. Back home, if we happen to keep in touch with duders who just graduated from high school & those guys are planning to attend the same universities as we are, we should inform them about how awesome Greek life is. This is not to say that we should pressure them to go Greek after addressing the positive benefits Greek life can provide but we could at least give them a chance to check things out & let them see if joining a fraternity is a good call. If so, there are three key stops your prospective recruits should make along the way:
(1) activity fairs which introduce the incoming freshmen to all these organizations & clubs, along with plenty of fraternities & sororities on hand to offer information about their chapters & other valuable information which could prove useful in the long run;
(2) fraternity/sorority-related events;
(3) Rush Week/Sorority Recruitment.
But we should once again know that Recruitment isn't just for two semesters a school year; it's a yearlong deal & this approach is key in finding out if we're getting the best of the best (in regards to duders who would fit perfectly into our fraternities). If we're looking at Recruitment as a joke or bypassing it until Rush Week, indeed, we've got a lot of work cut out for us then. More info about this matter on one of my upcoming posts.
