Recruitment Workshop
Dear Alum,
I’d like to invite you to participate in our Pre-Recruitment weekend this year, in preparation for Formal Recruitment. I’m hoping you can help us practice some conversational skills while both collegiates and alumnae get the chance to get to know each other better. In addition, do you think you would be willing to provide lunch/snacks for all of us to share?
For Formal Recruitment, we are allowed to receive an alumnae donation of three dozen flowers for Preference. I’ll confirm with Alexsis (Decorations Chair) which flowers she prefers and let you know ASAP.
Thanks in advance! And please pass this on to your fellow Alumnae and Tri Psi members.
DLAM,
Asha,
Alumni Chair,
Canada Alpha
Note: The Alumnae Chapter won’t provide snacks, but individual alum or Tri Psi members may bring them, if they wish.
