Congratulations! You’ve completed the recruitment process! www.osugreeks.com/pha What should I talk about? www.osugreeks.com/pha Good Questions to Ask What service events does your chapter have throughout the year? What is your favorite memory as a member of your chapter? How did you feel when you joined your chapter? What financial obligations does you chapter have? Why did you choose your chapter? What programming does your chapter offer its active members and new members? Do not be afraid to ask your questions to specific chapters, our Greek women are happy to answer them. Being an informed PNM is the best way to find the perfect fit for you! www.osugreeks.com/pha Topics to Avoid Alcohol and Partying For sorority women, this is rarely a topic of focus or great importance. They would rather tell you about what it means to be a member of their chapter, how they serve their community, or most importantly, learn even more about YOU! Political Views While politics is a very hot topic, it will not make for the best recruitment conversation. PHA respects the diversity of the women who make up the council, and recommends against debating about political views. Boys, Men, Guys When joining a sorority you are gaining many new friendships through the bond of sisterhood. It is best to spend your times during your rounds discussing more in-depth subjects than the male gender so you can confidently decide which women could be your best friends. Overall, use your common sense! www.osugreeks.com/pha The Selections Process www.osugreeks.com/pha The Mutual Selection Process Selections will always be done in Central Classrooms The selections process occurs after EVERY round/day of recruitment and is required of all PNMs. Go to the room assigned to your Recruitment Guide group and she will assist you if you have any questions.
