Study Notes

Recruitment Fundamentals

Create and maintain a Names List to identify potential members.
Building relationships is essential: "You can't recruit who you don't know."

ChapterBuilder Functionality

ChapterBuilder assists in tracking potential members and ranking them by relationship to the chapter.
It provides sign-in forms for events and tracks member involvement in recruitment efforts.

Perceptions of Greek Life

Many non-Greek students view fraternities and sororities simply as "Drunk Buddies."
Highlighting a meaningful purpose enhances marketing for the chapter.

Recruitment Strategies

"Filling your funnel" is critical for recruitment success; it involves meeting non-Greek men.
Utilize referrals as an effective technique for generating names of potential recruits.

Effective Communication

Use phrases like "How," "Why," and "Help Me Understand" to ask socially excellent questions.
Authenticity and vulnerability foster deeper connections with potential members.

Recruitment Selection

A "5 Star Recruit" embodies all five core values of the chapter.
Characteristics such as eye color should not influence advanced membership selection choices.

Closing the Deal

The "Pre-Close" question helps gauge interest: "If we were to ask you to join, what would you say?"
Effective closing methods include man-to-man conversations and meeting in neutral locations.

Systematic Recruitment

A systematic approach to recruitment ensures sustainability beyond individual talent.
Continually revisit how to add potential members to the list to keep recruitment efforts proactive.

Measuring Success

Success is defined by a diverse and academically strong new member class.
Aim for over 150 potential new members, with a minimum GPA of 2.7, and target a quarter of them for interviews.

Areas for Improvement

Aim for at least 10% of the chapter to be "Phired Up Certified Recruiters."
Implement recruitment technology like ChapterBuilder and establish a clear marketing strategy.
Develop a values-based selection process and seek guidance from a recruitment coach.

Names Driving Techniques

Utilize tabling, assisting with move-ins/outs, active social media engagement, community service, and outreach to meet non-Greek men.

Technology in Recruitment

ChapterBuilder is the primary tool for managing recruitment processes.

Building Authentic Connections

Focus on genuine interactions and create environments where potential members feel welcome and valued.
