| Easy Public Relations Ideas for the U of I |
1. Chalk the Quad, this will attract Greeks and Non-Greeks!
2. Make an announcement in your classes! If all your members make one announcement it will reach over a thousand people easily!
3. Change the homepage on computers to go to your philanthropy website! (Go to Control Panels & Internet options to find this feature)
4. Designate an area in your chapter house as the PR area. Post all things that people might want to know about in this area so they always know where to look!
5. Use Facebook or Evite to invite people to Philanthropy events!
6. Get your chapter involved in a wide variety of campus organizations and clubs!
7. Use your imagination...think about who you are trying to target and use that to design your public relations strategy! |

Is it any wonder that people think certain things about us when we wear t-shirts that reflect us as members of a drinking club rather than a values-based organization? When was the last time you saw a shirt that said "Alpha Beta: Highest GPA on Campus"?

Dear Mr. (or Ms.) last name,
Start your letter with a grabber—a statement that establishes a connection with your reader, a probing question, or a quotable quote. Briefly say what job you are applying for.
The mid-section of your letter should be one or two short paragraphs that make relevant points about your qualifications. You should not summarize your resume! You may incorporate a column or bullet point format here.
Your last paragraph should initiate action by explaining what you will do next (e.g., call the employer) or instigate the reader to contact you to set up an interview. Close by saying "thank you."
Sincerely yours,
Your handwritten signature
Your name (typed)
Enclosure: resume
