Any idea of how these recruitments are going to be structured? (ie after day one do they usually do like invite from then on?)

Do Spring Recruitments share a common bid day usually? (in the fall they celebrated on the same day)
These are very campus and chapter-specific questions.

For example, at my school, there is very little structure for informal; every chapter takes new members during informal, PHA gives us a day that we can both have parties and start to give bids (same day). Different chapters will have different numbers of parties. Most chapters call PNMs to offer them a bid. Bid days are different for each chapter.

I know that at Towson, there is a little more structure. They have open house and invite parties (not synchronized), and then there is a separate day to begin giving bids. I think they get bids from the Greek Life office. Bid day is on the same day for every chapter.

Your best bet is to ask your Greek Life office.

Also, are Sophia and Olivia the only ones participating in informal recruitment? I'd advise you to check out all chapters participating that you felt so-so or better about.

While at Sophia's parties, do NOT ask them this. You can ask them how much time you have to accept or decline your bid IF you get a bid from them. Save this question for when the time comes.
