PNM Welcome Round Video

Please read these instructions all the way through before you submit a video.

Our chapters are excited to get to know you better through this video, so please be your true, authentic self! The chapters want to see the real you and want to get to know your personality. We recommend that you dress in something that makes you feel comfortable, maybe something similar to what you might wear to a dinner with friends. There is no dress code. This is completely optional, but highly encouraged as it gives chapters a chance to get to know you beyond your recruitment application!  

Videos are limited to 75 seconds, maximum. You may only submit one video. Once the video is submitted it is final. If your video does not adhere to the timeframe and additional guidelines outlined below, it will not be accepted by Miami Panhellenic and will not be shared with chapters. If there is an issue with your submission or you are in need of accommodations please contact Panhellenic at panhellenic@miamioh.edu.

Video Guidelines

  • Videos should be no longer than 75 seconds (one minute, 15 seconds). 

  • No props should be used. 

  • Backgrounds should be neutral—this does not mean you have to stand in front of a blank wall, but it should not be distracting (see instructions below).

  • Videos should only feature the PNM.

  • PNMs should not hire a third party to produce, film, and/or edit the video. You do not need to edit the video (i.e. add title slides, transitions, or jump cuts.

  • Please record the video horizontally. 

  • There should be no extra sound (example: music)

  • All videos are due by 11:59 PM on January 3rd, 2025, but we encourage you to submit them as soon as possible. 

 

Background Instructions

Pay careful attention to your background. You want to avoid several potential mistakes with your background. 

  • Avoid a cluttered or messy background (clothes on the floor, junk piled up, etc.).

  • Avoid a distracting background (posters with a lot of words, televisions turned on, ceiling fans etc.). 

  • Avoid a background that is too bright. 

  • The ideal background is simple. It does not have to be a blank wall, but it should be something that will not take attention away from what you are saying!

VIDEO SUBMISSIONS THAT DO NOT ADHERE TO THE ABOVE GUIDELINES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.​​
