THE IDEAL CHAPTER RECRUITMENT MODEL In this manual, we will examine what it takes to create a truly effective recruitment strategy, one that will help you recruit year-round as well as during formal recruitment periods. For Vice Archons and their recruitment committees, its important to understand what goes into a good recruitment strategy, the steps to take to plan it, and how to include everyone in your recruitment efforts. In order to help you better understand everything involved, we’ll look at recruitment through the Ideal Chapter Recruitment Model – a recruitment strategy that is values-based, people-centered, and chapter shared. While this model may seem complex at first glance, this manual will break down each level of the model and show you how to use to plan effective recruitment. Let’s examine the basics of what go into this model.! Values-Based Why does Pi Kappa Phi exist? What makes us different from other fraternities? What do we believe in? What is the Fraternity’s purpose? How has it changed you? When it comes to bringing new men into life as a Pi Kappa Phi, our identity is very important. Men often join fraternities out of a need to belong, a sense of purpose; when we can articulate who we are and what we believe, we can connect with people who share the same values and beliefs. When we can discuss these things, we can better know the type of men that we are looking for and know how to find them. People-Centered When recruitment is people centered, it means that the chapters focus is on building your network: establishing relationships not only with PNMs – potential new members but also with the larger community, the people through whom you will often find some of your best referrals – suggestions for potential new members. With people-centered recruitment, we pay more attention to the relationships we develop then the events we host or what our rush shirt looks like. This not only makes recruitment more effective, it can create a stronger sense of brotherhood before a bid even goes out. While the logistics of recruitment break down into 3 pillars – people, message and venue, the focus should always be on the personal relationships in order to be successful. Chapter-Shared One of the easiest ways for recruitment to fail is by placing all the responsibility of the chapter’s recruitment efforts on one person – the vice archon. When recruitment is chapter shared, there is a system in place that helps balance the responsibility of recruitment and gives everyone in the chapter a voice. The vice archon oversees the vision, goals, and strategy involved with recruitment. He works with a committee in which each member is charged with the planning of the logistical aspects of the 3 pillars of recruitment, and makes sure that the chapter can learn the process and help in the recruiting of individual PNMs. Throughout the rest of this manual, we’ll get into these levels more thoroughly and help you apply it all to your chapter’s recruitment plan.
