Rho Gamma Director
After serving as a Rho Gamma in 2015, I was elated to have a chance to continue my passion for recruitment through the mentoring and education of 65+ new Rho Gammas. From March to October 2016, I had the opportunity to serve the University of Cincinnati Panhellenic community as a Recruitment Director - specifically as a Rho Gamma Director. Formal sorority recruitment is an intricately designed, intense, multi-weekend activity that takes months of planning to execute. As a Director, I helped plan the process and usher in new changes to the experience. As a Rho Gamma Director, I had a large role in planning and executing the curriculum used to train "Rho Gammas," or Recruitment Guides - women who serve as a role model and mentor for a group of women going through recruitment, who help guide them through the complicated process.
This past year we decided to do an overhaul of the recruitment experience. One of the things that we decided needed changed was the Rho Gamma training curriculum, which we had felt the year before was not doing all that it could to prepare the Rho Gammas properly. We designed a new training curriculum to go hand-in-hand with our recruitment process that would focus on living out values and being your authentic self. Each meeting was designed with a different topic and purpose, all of which would eventually culminate in a comprehensive training experience that would adequately prepare our Recruitment Guides.
Throughout the summer, I kept a bi-weekly (some weeks were off due to breaks in trainings) journal of my experiences as a Director. It is heavily focused on experiences the weeks of our training meetings. Attached below is the reflection that I wrote a few days after the completion of recruitment, over my entire experience as a recruitment director.
