Roundtable interviews were held the Sunday, January 26th
at 9:00 am in our chapter meeting room in Weaver hall. This interview is the
next step in the North Carolina Chapter's recruitment process for new brothers.
Everyone who attended Rush events was invited to come to Roundtable on Sunday
afternoon for a formal interview. The applicants proceeded to sign up for an
interview time by contacting our Censor. All active brothers greeted the
visiting students with a variety of snacks and breakfast food items. The event
began with a slide show of chapter activities made by Chronicler Rogers, and
then interviews began. One-by-one the students were interviewed in front of the
entire brotherhood. They were first asked to talk about the pillar of AZ they
find the most important. We then asked them questions to learn about their
interests as well as why they want to join our Fraternity. The applicants have
an opportunity to ask the brotherhood any questions they have. After they
leave, we discuss positive and negative aspects of each applicant and vote on
their admission into the Fraternity. Eighty-five percent of the brotherhood
must vote yes for them to be extended a bid. If we vote yes, the Censor will
call them later in the day to extend a "bid". The Censor informs the
new candidates about the time commitments required for New Member Education
Week to make sure they still want to join. After interviews, we ended up
with 14 candidates for New Member Education Week.
