Recruiting Members

Due to privacy laws and anti-spam legislations, societies do not have direct access to a list of all students in an academic program. There are several ways that you can communicate with student members, and one of them is to create your own membership list. If students have signed up as a member of your society by providing their email address, you are able to email them directly when needed. Please be respectful and remove a student from your distribution list if they indicate they no longer wish to receive emails from you.

How to Create a Membership List

There are various ways you can collect information from students to build up your membership list. At the beginning of the school year you will be invited to participate in the Get Involved! Be Informed Fair! at new student orientation, as well as in both September and January. These fairs are a great opportunity to speak with students about the benefits of becoming a member of your society, and to have a sign-up sheet at your table to collect information.

Membership lists should consist of the following:

• First Name
• Last Name
• GryphMail Address
• Current Year
• Program and/or Area of Emphasis

You can also encourage students to complete our society member registration form. Your society will receive an email with the student's contact information.
