I have found from both my chapter and the one I advise that women recruited through this method tend to be very involved in the chapter because it was a longer more thought out process. Just meaning less intense and quick than formal rush or even the more common COB style. Less time pressure to decide. I believe the women who we really did this with were also much less likely to deactivate/depledge/de-whatever-your-term-is. It may just be the campus' I've worked with are not traditional Greek campus' so it worked better for the women and campus culture.
ohh I was going to say the key that honeychile mentioned is make it part of your normal activities. You don't need to add 30 new events to the chapter calendar. It is about eating lunch at a table together, studying, working out, work study, etc.

I agree with it all! It's an entirely different creature than the "rounds" parties, but you'll make strong bonds.
We called them "Chat Dates", but I've heard the term Coke Date, too.
Lastly, it's only kind to let a woman know that she's going to be released. You may want to think (as a chapter) of a discreet way of saying it, but you do NOT have the right to keep her hanging on, when another GLO could be
dying to bid her!
