What has Panhel been up to? I'm so glad you asked.

So you want to be a Recruitment Counselor.
It’s that time of year again! The Panhellenic Association is looking for recruitment counselors for Recruitment 2011!
Being a recruitment counselor gives women the opportunity to see the OTHER other side of recruitment. Recruitment counselors have the chance to meet and bond with women from every sorority at Butler.
So what exactly do recruitment counselors do? These are the women who guide potential new members through the stressful recruitment process. Recruitment counselors will disaffiliate from their chapter for the entire Fall 2010 semester. No, that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to live in your chapter house or hang out with your sisters, but it does mean that you aren’t allowed to wear your letters or participate in your house’s philanthropy events.
We are looking for women that are enthusiastic and outgoing, and who are also willing to listen to the potential new members and help them through the difficult week that is recruitment.
In order to be a recruitment counselor, a woman must be a member of a Butler University sorority, and must have been on both sides of recruitment (as a potential new member and as a sorority member). We encourage women that are currently studying abroad to apply, but we unfortunately will not be able to accept women that plan to study abroad in the Fall of 2010, since they will miss several important training workshops.
Being a recruitment counselor is an amazing experience, and we hope that you’ll all consider applying. Email VP of Recruitment Katie Kelly (kmkelly@butler.edu) with any questions, and submit your application by March 1st!

What do early morning fire alarms, Minglesticking, and fraternal values have in common? AFLV 2010
Throughout the weekend we had the opportunity to attend a lot of great sessions and see many inspirational speakers. The great thing about AFLV/NBGLC is that it’s the largest fraternal values-focused conference in the country so we had a TON of options for topics to learn about. While we went to several sessions that applied to our offices (Katie went to a lot about recruitment, Emily S. went to several about social media and PR, and Emily C. sat in on many about hazing and risk management), we also went to a few special interest presentations. On Saturday we saw a presentation about HIV/AIDS from Shawn and Gwenn, a couple that deals with HIV on a daily basis. We also all attended a “Hot Topic” session about the show GREEK, where we watched clips from the show and talked about different issues from the series such as hazing, media portrayal of Greek life, and acceptance and diversity.
Among the many people we got to meet this weekend were our own sisters! On Friday, we attended an affiliation luncheon and had the chance to meet members of our individual sororities from all over the country. It was amazing for all of us to meet so many women from so many different schools and have an instant bond with them. We shared songs, stories, philanthropy and recruitment ideas, and of course, lots of sisterhood! Pretty much anything you could talk about with someone who you instantly feel like you’ve known for years, we did.

The word of the weekend (and a new personal favorite of ours) had to be “minglestick.” The Minglestick is a small, USB-type device that is essentially a digital business card. To “mingle” with someone, you simply point the Minglesticks at each other and press a button. All of your information then transfers to each other, and you can access it on your online account. As much fun as we had throwing the word minglestick around all weekend (not to mention the fun we had using it to completely confuse our friends at home), they were really innovative and useful throughout the conference.
