But come on...five chapters will be recruiting, and they list the rec addresses for TEN houses, and they don't tell you which five chapters will be involved and which five won't? I understand that there might be a stigma to being in the bottom half, size-wise, at a campus like LSU. Even so, it's not right to send PNMs on a snipe hunt for ABC recs when it's actually impossible to receive a bid at ABC this spring. It's also a big waste of alumnae's time if the recommending alumna isn't local to Baton Rouge and doesn't realize the ABC chapter has no openings.

Can someone from LSU explain? Would any halfway clued-in LSU student already know which five houses are recruiting?

At the bottom it says: For specific questions, please email the VP of Recruitment lsurecruitment@hotmail.com.

If you specifically want to know WHO the sororities are, email her. I don't know where are you getting the "five sororities" from - I don't see that on any of the forms.

Not only that - they have to send this info out now so women have time to get recs, but who is participating isn't actually determined until January 18. Between now & then chapters could have members drop out of school or not come back for various reasons. Or they could have members who've been inactive return. For all we know, all 10 or none could be participating when the actual time comes.
