Recruitment Week-
The week was a very long with many parties.  The first night of recruitment was an informational meeting for the woman explaining each chapter and how to dress for the following week.  The second night, was the first night that the women got to tour all of the chapters and get to know the women from each chapter.  This night was also showing what our chapter has to offer through a skit. Tri Delta’s skit is a thirty-year tradition, of A Chorus Line.  We show our sisterhood through acting and singing and being goofy.  The third night was our Philanthropy night, where we share all of our experiences in raising money as a national organization to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.  The hospital and children are very close to our hearts and we were interested in seeing how the women going through recruitment reacted to our Philanthropy.  The last night is our Preference night.  This night is a very serious an emotional night.  We invited back the women that we thought would best represent our chapter and wear our letters in the right way.  
Bid Day-
By the end of the week Tri Delta ended up giving sixteen bids to sixteen wonderful women. They were mainly freshman women.  The members of the chapter prepared all day for our new members to show up at 4PM on Friday afternoon.   Paddles were made, cakes were baked, and the house was decorated for them to come.  When they arrived to the house we gave them a warm welcome and did a get to know you game and introduced everyone with year in school, major, and a fun fact about them.  The night carried on with dinner from La Gondola and a talent show.  The talent show was a wonderful way to interact the new members with the active members in funny dancing and singing.  We hired a photographer to come and take an all chapter picture with our bid day shirts on and then they also took pictures of each class.  Around 10PM we all put our 80’s gear on and went roller-skating as a chapter.  We had the entire rink to ourselves and it was a blast.  They played all sorts of different music and then we ended the night with our song “American Pie”.  Many of the active members introduced the new members to polar pops and we all ended up back at the Tri Delta house and enjoyed a big sleepover filled with movies and dance parties in our living room. 
Conclusion-
At the end of the week it was a successful recruitment for Delta Delta Delta. We ended up with wonderful ladies.  Not only was it a successful recruitment for our chapter, but as a Panhellenic Council overall.  Alpha Chi Omega got 14 new members, and Pi Beta Phi got 16 new members.  Overall, 44 women received bids from chapters.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cprochnow (talk • contribs) 22:41, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
