I Need Help.
Alright, so I'm chair of Recruitment Counselors this year. I love everything about recruitment and being a Pi Chi, but I'm starting to get really stressed.
Our advisor has left myself & the VP of Recruitment to develop Pi Chi training. We thought we were doing fine but she sent us an email saying she was disappointed in us. :( This is what we have so far: Team Builders Mutual Selection/the MRABA lesson Chapter Facts & Stereotyping discussion/worksheet Talking with parents discussion Sign 'em up! Activity/discussion Being a present & active recruitment counselor discussion Common Questions from PNMs "I" stories Cross-affiliation vs. Disaffiliation activity What is the NPC? Worksheet/discussion Leadership activities How-to: Hall rounds/PNM meetings Recruitment schedule walk-through Plan Intro to Women's Recruitment meeting --- What I'm asking is: do you feel we are missing anything? Or do you have any ideas that would amp up our training schedule or make it interesting or I don't know...better? The VP of Recruitment & I are both return recruitment counselors and close with our advisor. She expects a lot out of us and we want to make her proud, but more importantly we want the Pi Chis to be prepared and knowledgeable. Any help is much appreciated! |
Your category titles seem quite thorough, but maybe you need to start to flesh them out a little. I'm a big fan of an outline. Some of these will already fit as subcategories to main listings. Also, this list doesn't mean much without a schedule to go with it. You can EASILY get way off track if you don't have an amount of time dedicated to each item. And I don't think you can spend enough time on mutual selection and MRABA.
Best of luck. |
Have you talked to her to find out WHY she is disappointed? It's probably better to just have that conversation than to come here and ask us when we have no idea why she might be upset. There are any number of reasons why she may be dissatisfied, and the best way to find out is to go to the source.

I agree with Dubais. Maybe it is too skimpy and not detailed enough. Add a breakdown of major points for each topic.
Seems weird that you can't ask for more explanation, but to each his own. |
That's so ridiculous and childish. So much unnecessary drama goes on in this world because people won't have simple conversations about expectations. An adviser should have no problem addressing this issue with you and not expecting you to read her mind. SMH.

Speak to the Greek Advisor.

I think a big part of what you are missing is:
Counseling disappointed PNM's What to do when one of your PNM's is completely released from recruitment How to keep the PNM participating How to counsel a PNM who wants to SIP Preparing the PNM's for a successful recruitment I think there are a lot of counselors who don't understand the recruitment process and therefore can not effectively counsel their PNM's. The counselors almost need to become experts in all things recruitment. Unfortunately I think a lot of them do it to get out of recruitment:) Good luck. Your list sounds pretty good. |

I agree, obviously. She doesn't have to do it for you to give you constructive feedback. A statement like "I'm disappointed in you." is completely insufficient if it is not followed by an example and a method for change. That is leadership.

And 33girl read me right. |
Thank you everyone. :) The VP & I are going to rework what we've done and make it as good as possible and send it to her. If we have a bunch of work done, it'll be a better conversation, I think. haha. Recruitment counselor training is completely our responsibility, I think she just wants us to have a well-developed program to train our Pi Chi's.
(I talked with the VP and we developed a plan. haha) |
