Potential New Member Video

The PNM Video is an optional 1 minute video that you can submit as part of your registration to provide an additional opportunity for our chapters to get to know you. In your PNM Video, you will:

Introduce yourself by stating your name, hometown, intended major, and a fun/interesting fact about yourself

Answer this question: What are you most passionate about, and why?

Video Guidelines

1. Videos must be filmed on a smartphone device, computer, or similar. 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. Please do not edit your video or add any effects.

5. Please keep your video around 1 minute long.

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