PNM Video Instructions

Potential New Members Videos are to be submitted as part of your registration! Since Ice Water is not in person, this will allow you the opportunity to showcase who you are to our chapters!

 
 

Guidelines

Videos are optional for both PNMs and our chapters. Just because you upload a video, does not mean that our chapters will view it. Once you submit your recruitment registration, it becomes final. If you decide not to submit a video, you will not be allowed to submit one later.

1. Videos must be filmed on smartphone device, computer, or similar. We want you to be able to show your authentic self! No professional or third-party services to record/edit videos can be used.

2. The Background of the video should be neutral - think like your bedroom wall! We want you to be the main focus of the video and not have any distractions.

3. Video should only be of yourself and no additional props

4. The questions should be answered in one, continuous video. Please do not submit one video per question.

5. Please do not edit your video or add any effects.

6. Please keep your video under 2 minutes.

7. Wear your favorite LSU or high school t-shirt!

FAILURE TO FOLLOW OUTLINED RULES WILL RESULT IN VIDEO NOT BEING INCLUDED FOR CHAPTERS TO VIEW.

We will watch your video, and if there is a glitch or error with the link, we will let you know and give you an opportunity to send us a corrected link.
