Phi Delta Theta will host a virtual Recruitment Workshop via the Ihlenfeld University for Online Education (PDT U) from August 25–26, 2021, at 7:00-8:30 p.m. EST each evening.

Geared towards recruitment chairmen, recruitment committees, and recruitment advisers, the mission of the Recruitment Workshop is to equip chapters with a growth mindset that will help them succeed with recruitment and overcome any potential barriers they may face on campus this fall.

The Recruitment Workshop will feature a 45-minute general session speaker each evening coupled with a 45-minute randomly-generated breakout discussion around important recruitment topics and questions.

Each chapter is strongly encouraged to register its recruitment chairmen, recruitment committee members, and recruitment adviser. Phi Delta Theta understands that late-August is a busy time for its members and chapters as they head back to school. Because of this, the format and time commitment of the virtual conference was shortened to include high-impact content and discussions.
