Recruitment 2017-2018 Year in Review

Subscribe Past Issues WOW!!! What a year it has been for Chi Omega with 92 Dallas girls accepting bids!

Let’s give a huge shout-out to our awesome recruitment team headed by Nan McGee, Diane Brooks and Connie O’Neill, our computer chairman. Connie tracked and kept records for 497 girls from Dallas area high schools. Thank you to our outstanding high school and collegiate recruitment chairmen and to all of our alumnae who assisted in writing RIFs and letters of support or helped behind the scenes with food and beverages. Your dedication truly makes a difference — as evidenced by our numbers.

Did you know that Beth Anderson sends a gift to each of our Dallas PNMs from our Chi Omega Alumnae? We know that Chi Omega is for a lifetime and successful recruitment is the lifeline to the future of our Fraternity.

Thank you to our Legacy Chairmen: Kim Kelley, Alana Wiebe, Marianne Wilhusen and Kelly Hosch for hosting our Spring luncheon at the SMU Chi O house on April 28th to introduce our high school senior legacies to Chi Omega actives from many Texas and surrounding state universities. Legacies can meet our outstanding actives and hear ﬁrst hand how Chi Omega leads on college campuses.

GOTTA GO CHI O * GOTTA GO CHI O * GOTTA GO CHI O * GOTTA GO Recruitment never rests!

To continue our successful recruitment process, please contact your high school chairman for RIF forms and additional information. RIF copies may also be downloaded online. High school chairs are found on page 21 of your directory or at www.chiomegadallas.com, and they will help you with any questions concerning the RIF process

A Chi Omega RIF packet must include; two support letters, unofﬁcial copy of a transcript, resume, three pictures (UT needs a 5x7), and the RIF with one signature. The ARIC signature serves as the second signature. Another page may be acquired from the high school chairs and is helpful with additional rush tips for the chapter.

THREE COPIES of the above information are needed in addition to the ORIGINAL RIF with all delivered to the HIGH SCHOOL CHAIR by MAY 1.

Do you know a Dallas high-school Subscribe Pasts Isstuues dent who deserves a scholarship?

The Dallas Alumnae Panhellenic Association is proud to sponsor an annual scholarship program to promote the Greek system for local Dallas high school women. To qualify, applicants must be a graduating high school senior woman who lives in the Dallas or Highland Park ISD attendance zones. This includes Addison and University Park. Applicants must attend an accredited four-year Texas university with National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities on campus.

The recipient must participate and complete the NPC sorority recruitment process. This does not mean she is required to pledge a sorority, but she must participate in the process before scholarship funds will be distributed to her university. Funds will be sent directly to the university upon veriﬁcation of completion of the recruitment process.

The Dallas Alumnae Panhellenic Association Scholarship Committee evaluates each application with careful consideration. All information is kept conﬁdential.

Completed applications must be postmarked by April 6, 2018. Late applications will not be considered.

Scholarship recipients will be notiﬁed in April 2018 and recognized at our annual Scholarship Luncheon on May 16, 2018.

Find the scholarship application here.
