Northern Kentucky University used to have sorority recruitment the three days prior to school starting with bid day on the first day of school. This system was great.
This year, they changed it to the first weekend after school started. The idea was that more women would be aware of recruitment and come out. It didn't work. Numbers of pnm didnt go up, and I think it may have hurt the smaller sororities on campus because pnm got a taste of what the reputations were like of each group.
The major downside of doing recruitment after school has been in session for a week was that most of us had homework. I don't know how everyone else works, but in my chapter you are preparing for recruitment everyday from 8 in the morning and you dont get out until around 11 in the evening. This didn't leave much time for homework and was very stressful to the recruitment chairwomen (myself being one of them.)
I favor having recruitment a couple of days before school starts.
