Why girls ARE joining our team...

FIRST General Forum
#1

In response to all the posts to the thread regarding girls on teams, i just want to say the maority of students on our team have been girls, girls, and girls, every year.

r we nerdy? who knows…we play sports and ace our classes while participating in FIRST

…and we work! everyone built last year, i was one of the drivers.

…and we cheer!! we got called cheerleaders alot last year, and we wore skirts too, but hey…it was a blast and it got all the other boys from other teams to cheer for our team too.

so how can u get girls to join your team?? spread the word, and drag them to your meetings…they tend to stay :smiley:

so girls…we rock;)

I remember talking with a few girls @ Kickoff in Kokomo… I think they were from Ohio, but their team had more girls than they did boys…

BOTCATS ROCK! I hope you all can stop in to help us recruit some amazing, talented female team members, like yourselves! Ever considered a “long-distance mentorship?”

If anyone went to Philly regionals last year you might remember the diablo girls. They were raising money by selling hugs and kisses. they actually made $83.52 from that. anyway we had 9-10 girls but after graduation we only had 1. we did get 3-4 newbies but that isnt really enough to make up for our losses.

After graduation…we lost our entire PR team. Well…it was two girls. That was a big team.

Umm, ewww. Nevermind what other potential they might have, you can’t make up for lost hugging/kissing revenue?

I know you didn’t mean for this to sound the way it does, but it sounds that way. It’s insulting.

Our team has about 10 girls… it’s odd though because our media people are always trying to find a way to incorporate the girl’s into the videos and such. Makes me laugh. It’s basically because a lot of the girls are involved in strategy and media… most of us don’t know too much about fab(though I’m trying to learn) Should be interesting…
As for the whole grad thing. Next year our team is loosing a ton of people. The vast majority of our team is seniors and most of the people that do the work are part of that group. Our seniors are running the team almost… should be… interesting next year.
hugz to all as alwayz

im so sorry
by losses i ment by the amount of girls we lost, and it had nothing to do with the money.
i should edit that to remove all the parts of the kissing/hugging stuff. will i ever get around to it? maybe.
