Our name lists need to be living documents. They need to constantly be evolving and growing constantly, not just the first week of classes. But what and who should be on there?
Who:
Names do not have to be new! We should not be hitting "Delete All" at the end of every semester. If we are recruiting dynamically and systematically, very few potential members should ever come completely off of our names list. They should be carried over and brought back up in discussion and invitations next semester!
What:
Names lists need to be more than just a name and cell phone number! If that is all that we have, we are essentially starting over every time we see this member. Be sure to include: majors, hobbies, hometowns, future goals/aspirations, a main contact within the chapter, his academic record and anything else that will help them stand out or be remembered by the brothers.
