Hey,

For your information, there are presentations towards the end of the 
spring semester regarding major choices. (There is a "suggested day" 
for declaration but in reality that date is extended through the summer 
where the student can change his or her curriculum up until the first 
day of class.)   I wouldn't plan too big of a turnout for those events 
though. We could say a few words at the presentation but don't plan on 
more than 3 or 4 students expressing interest in the society right 
away.  Students still haven't completely decided on majors and most 
won't be thinking that far ahead (in terms of professional soc.).  For 
that new class however (meaning those who will be Soph. in the fall), 
the best time to recruit would be in the first month of school in the 
Fundamental I class and again in the spring during Fundamentals II 
class.  By that time, students have decided for or against their CPE/EE 
major.  People are most excited about things when they start to get 
involved....hitting the EE/CPE fundamental classes in my mind would be 
the best way to increase numbers.  I also don't believe you will 
receive a huge turnout with a presentation for those who will be 
Juniors this fall.  By this time, most students have picked what they 
want or what they don't want in terms of on campus activities.  I don't 
think it would be worthless but please keep in mind I don't think we 
would get a large yield. (Just don't get bummed out if we don't have a 
high turnover.)

Big final exam tomorrow and then I am finally going home!
