Before FH decides who to pursue and pass bids to next quarter, we drew up values based selection criteria. "To have the capacity to meet and make friends" is the first requirement for membership stated in our object; therefore friendship is the first of four values. Tangible ways to measure friendship capacity is having 1-on-1 interviews, three or more brothers speak on his behalf, and if he provides at least two other PNMs to add to the master recruiting names list. Second, scholarship--GPA being above the all-IFC average, which means as the community improves so does the requirements of joining FH. Third, character--distinguished by interviews, but definitely by the spiritual chair. Finally, leadership is essential--being involved in 2+ other student organizations, having a job and in another organization, or being an officer in another organization.
One tactic to stimulate conversation about the fraternity at 1-on-1 meetings is for us to show him our values based selection criteria.
For the most part, fraternities have similar values, but it is the ones that hold their members to them that are the best. Hopefully we follow through.
