Reaching out to our Atlanta Sisters
Hi Sisters -
In looking over our strip list we receiver from National Fraternity, there are 1,940 sisters living in the north metro area...Alumnae, that we should, in all reality try to reach. How will that be possible? (BTW, our sisters in the south side, says their strip list was 2,600).
We cannot do it by pen and paper. And calling proves fruitless because no one answers their phones if they don't know who is calling, and if they are anything like my children, they do not listen to their voicemails. Most don't have the voice mail feature set up because all they use are texts. Or snapchat or Instagram.
The technology is changing. We have a website, we send emails, we have a facebook group (actually I post to about 5), but the next thing we need is a way to send multiple texts. PErhaps someone can help with that social media. A free way to do it. Ideas? 3,2,1 go....
Also, in case you haven't heard the news yet - Auburn University AxiD fall recruitment was 101! Congratulations ladies.
Fingers crossed for Georgia Tech which ended the 18th!
Univ. of West GA recruitment started Augusts 18th and ends the 22nd.
Kennesaw State, begins Sept. 1.
Georgia State, begins Sept. 11-13.
And we march on toward our Fall!
