Matheson Hall, Room 307
Recruitment is the life-blood of our fraternal organizations. With these organizations uniquely based on values and principles that set them apart from other groups, it is imperative to include those values as a guiding light when recruiting new life-long members. Effectively communicating the values of the organization allows members to determine a potential member’s genuine interest in the organization and allow the potential member to feel secure in his/her lifelong commitment to uphold those values.
*This is a “CEO Certificate Program” elective workshop open only to juniors and seniors of the fraternity and sorority life community (recommended for those looking to earn a Fraternity and Sorority Life Leadership Certificate).
