Like others have said, it depends on the campus culture, if any groups are under total, and if so, how many and by how much.

Let's say most chapters at a school are at or above total. Any chapter at or above total will not be eligible to take new members. If a chapter is under total by only a few spots and they are at a school where most are at total, then they probably won't be advertising informal recruitment. They'll opt to invite friends of members or unmatched women who they were interested in. Other chapters with more spots able to be filled will likely advertise any parties or events.

At other schools, all or most chapters are under total. Informal recruitment as a whole will likely be advertised as well as parties for each chapter.

Check with your school's Greek Life Office. They should be able to tell you what kind of opportunities you have to join a sorority.
