For the past two years Tau Beta Pi chapters have risen to the challenge to 'Initiate One More' electee. Here are some suggestions:

• Get personal - contact each candidate and electee in person. Break up the list amongst chapter members to make it more manageable.
• Follow up - don't accept a failure to respond at face value. Mail, whether electronic or snail, doesn't always reach the intended recipient.
• Use Facebook to communicate with candidates, electees and members. Click here for info.
• Ask your dean to send a letter to candidates and/or electees. (Click here for sample).
• A letter from the dean to student's parents works as well. (Click here for sample).
• Publicize your new members! Send a news release, take out an ad in the campus or local newspaper or hang a poster.
• Don't forget to include the appropriate brochure (click here to order or here for information).

• Letters to send:
  • From chapter to:
    • Candidate - informing them of their scholastic eligibility
    • Electees - informing them of their invitation to join.
  • From dean to:
    • Student
    • Parent
    • Instructions on how to proceed.
