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 497girls 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 RIFwith all delivered to the HIGH SCHOOL CHAIR by MAY 1.

student who deserves ascholarship?

 

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.
