NPC Recruitment Styles
 

Since all the new recruitment styles are in place, i thought it would be interesting to poll everyone to see which style each campus has adopted. Feel free to list the recruitment style your campus has selected (formal/fully structured, partially structured, minimally structured or COR)

If available, include a general schedule (i.e.: Friday night open house, saturday philanthropy, etc - i know some schedules are really detailed, so don't feel you have to post everything!)

my campus:

3 weeks leading to recruitment, we will have a couple of interest building activities, such as a Greek Cafe, maybe a mother/daughter tea or something similar during Move-in weekend and invite anyone who might be interested. Each chapter will be able to set up a table to promote themselves. We are considering allowing a certain number of chapter members to be present to talk to PNMs so they can get excited about recruitment.

We are using partially structured recruitment, so we'll have the standard open house with all PNMs attending each chapter. Then, we'll have philanthropy day, which we haven't quite yet figured out, but it will not be by invitiation (small campus). Pref will be the last day and will more likely than not be invite only.

It's pretty similar to formal, but we are just having more meet & greet sessions earlier in the process. The actual days will be less structured - rounds will be a little different and there won't be party lists.

how about your campus?

Aug 24 – Opening Convocation
Aug 25 – Open House - 15 parties (one off)
Aug 26, 27 – Philanthropy - 4 parties each day
Aug 28 – Skit - 5 parties
Aug 29 – Preference - 3 parties
Aug 30 – Bid Day

We used ICS and the new quota system last year, and they seemed to work well.

As far as I know, we'll still be using the full-structured recruitment. 16 sororites, 1000+ PNM's...I just can't imagine keeping track of everything without it. We played around with the new release figures system last year, and it worked very nicely. :)

Aug. 7 - Optional Meeting with Panhellenic Counselor (IIX) group

Aug. 11 - Philanthropy Day 2
Aug. 12 - Skit Day

I don't know how many parties will be each day, but I believe it's 9 and 7 for IWT Days, 6 and 5 for Philanthropy Days, 5 for Skit, and 3 for Pref.
