(The following post is a shoutout to sorority women everywhere.)
What is good news if we can’t pass it on to women who are thinking about joining a sorority? And what is good news if we can’t find the time to share it with PNMs who are wondering if Greek life is truly for them?
It’s on us to get the word out about not only Formal Recruitment events & when they’re going to take place, but also who our Sororities/Fraternities are, what our Sororities/Fraternities do & what our Sororities/Fraternities are all about. It’s on us to take a stand & get the word out about our chapters. It’s on us to tell potential new members how our organizations are making a positive impact on campus, the local community & the world.
Let’s face it: If we don’t get the word out about sorority life – & if we don’t get the word out about anything pertaining to Formal Recruitment – who will? If not us, who? And if not now, when?
Who’s going to inspire/encourage/empower women to go Greek if we don’t?
Who’s going to inspire/encourage women to see if Greek life is truly for them if we don’t?
Who’s going to show & tell these amazing ladies all the great things that our chapters do for our colleges/universities & communities if we don’t?
Who’s going to show & tell these amazing ladies how our chapters inspire women to become leaders & difference-makers for their chapters, campuses, communities & the world if we don’t?
Who’s going to show & tell how our Sororities/Fraternities set high standards & expectations for excellence if we don’t?
Who’s going to show & tell how our Sororities/Fraternities are constantly disproving the stereotypes about Greek life if we don’t?
Who’s going to cast our chapters – & for that matter, our Sororities/Fraternities – in a positive light if we don’t?
Who’s going to prove the doubters about Greek life wrong if we don’t?
How will potential new members know when Formal Recruitment’s going to be if we don’t tell them?
How can women know about our Sororities/Fraternities if we’re not doing our job?
It’s on us to get the word out about when Formal Recruitment’s going to be (as well as what to expect during the recruiting process). It’s on us to get the word out about who our Sororities/Fraternities are & what our Sororities/Fraternities do on campus, the local community & the world. It’s on us to show women who are planning to go Greek what our Sororities/Fraternities are truly about. Above all, it’s on us to show what makes our Sororities/Fraternities stand out on campus & why our organizations are amazing to begin with. If we don’t, who else is going to?
If not us, who? And if not now, when?
