See what the year has to bring whether it’s you joining a sorority you being in your sorority you being mysore we’re about to celebrate centennial all those good things i hope that you guys are with me and that you continue to watch my videos if you ever have questions you
Already know you can ask me but for today’s video we are going to go over just some general questions or a general question that i do tend to get that i want to help you guys out with we’re starting the new year once again talking about spring intake because that year is
Around right now so we’re going to go over it and talk about some things as part of this series let me turn off my phone there we go oh by the way plug check out my phone that my sister got me or really my phone case so excited about
It kel’s tales make sure you are subscribed if you haven’t subscribed yet make sure you are now let me fix my lighting there we go okay so without further ado today’s video we are going to be talking about how graduate chapters decide on intake it was a common question that i
Received so we’re going to answer that question in today’s video so if you want to learn more about grant chapter and intake keep watching this video i do already have a video posted about intake timelines so this is just me going over grab chapter process in terms of what i
Think goes on so if you want like the in-depth information on how intake actually occurs the behind the scenes check out that video i will link it somewhere for you guys i will also post it in the description box for you as well but without further ado let’s answer this question
So it’s like what i’ve been saying before with graduate chapter intake in general is decided on the time of year and what the chapters have going on so if you are someone who is interested in joining a graduate chapter and you haven’t heard from them in a while it’s
Been like years and years and years before they’ve actually had intake usually there’s a reason behind that the chapter may be full enough to where they have more than enough members and they don’t necessarily need new people at the moment or it could be something paperwork related where they just
Haven’t um put the paperwork together with headquarters in order to start intake because there is some there are some protocols that take place there are some procedures that have to be done in order for a chapter to participate in intake they have to make sure that everyone’s financial the ones and by
Everyone i mean those who are participating in intake uh the people who are teaching basically the things that you need to know those people have to be financial the chapter itself has to be financial um they have to have dates listed of when they plan on doing their
Things for intake so all those things plan to a factor so if the chapter isn’t doing that then the chapter is not prepared for intake so a lot of times especially with older chapters who have an abundance of members they don’t feel the need to do intake every
Season or every year because they already have more than enough people so for those of you who are part of an organization or sorry for those of you who want to join an organization and they haven’t seen intake take place and it’s been a long time
I would just ask the question and there is a certain way that you can do it to where it’s not like you’re soliciting for membership for information on how to do that check out my video on inquiry emails versus interest emails because with some organizations as i’ve said
Before they do not accept solicitation for membership so if you pose the question of when are you guys having intake i’m interested in joining they’re most likely not going to answer that email or that message because they don’t accept emails or messages like that so
There is a way for you to just ask the question or there is a way for you to be um inquiring but not to the point where you’re like asking the question a lot of times i tell people if they want to know what’s going on with that chapter to just send
An inquiry email to ask them if they have any upcoming events that are available to the public that’s a great way to pose the question because if they have events available to the public that means that they’re they are being active and then that gives you the opportunity
To attend a public event to ask the question in person or to build a relationship with someone to where you’re comfortable enough to ask that question to that particular person versus attending and then asking the question because they don’t accept solicitation so the best way to do that would be to
Send a message asking information on future events or if they’re hosting future events with it being the beginning of the year this is the perfect time to ask the question because a lot of organizations are getting started on their yearly calendars where they’re working on things for every month
Planning events for the public for themselves so now is a great time to ask the question because organizations are getting ready to do their events chapters are getting ready to do their events so that pretty much answers the question of how to ask the question um how they
Decide on intake like i said determine what depends on what the chapter has going on so maybe they’re too busy to where they can’t do it right now maybe they’re a new chapter and they’re trying to work on themselves first before bringing in new people which is very important a lot
Of people do have an established chapter but the inner workings of the chapter are kind of dysfunctional and they don’t want to bring new people in until they fix the functionality they want to make sure everyone’s getting along there’s no drama you don’t want to bring new people
Into a chapter that’s messy or a chapter that always has drama so that could be another reason as to why they’re not doing intake at the time because they are trying to work on themselves first those are the general things that i could think of as far as when does the
Chapter decide or why chapters aren’t hosting intake for those of you who are part of an organization and you have more information to provide please put it in the comments below if you ever have any questions for me you’re more than welcome to comment on this video or
