So far this
year the Recruitment committee has held three main events: Recruitment Week,
Activation, and Speed Dating. Along with events, we have also created a new Big
/ Little bonding competition. This encourages our members to hang out with their
Big / Little, take a selfie, and submit it in attempt to win a prize at the
end of the semester.
Recruitment
Week consisted of three events: Meet & Greet, Game Night, and Ice Skating.
Meet and Greet was our kick-off event. Unfortunately it got to a slow start but
that all changed by Game Night! There were tons of potential new members and
current members mixed in the conference rooms of Olmsted. We played
Minute-to-Win-It games followed by some brain teasers, and then finally some
Pictionary to finish everything off. My favorite part was watching how creative
everyone was during the Minute-To-Win-It games. Ice Skating was also a lot of
fun! Turns out Gamma looks pretty good on the ice! While some members may have
had a rough start, like myself, other members were staking like pros.
After all the
festivities, we had 11 individuals show interest in becoming members of Gamma.
While I would love to go into detail about how exciting Activation was, our
rituals are very shush shush. But to sum it up, we now have 11 fun filled
pledges! Welcome Eta Class!
Speed Dating
has been our most recent event held by the recruitment committee. With around
seventy percent attendance, we barely stayed under the fire code for maximum
individuals in one small conference room! It got quite warm but there was a lot
of energy! Overall it was a success because many great conversations were held
and members learned more about each other. To finish the night off, Bigs and
Littles were also revealed to the pledge class. Now they can participate in the
Big / Little bonding competition too!
