My school used to do recruitment prior to the start of school, but honestly, if they did that now, they'd have only 50 ladies going through recruitment. The University does not publicize recruitment AT ALL anymore, so many PNM's don't even know about it until the've moved into the dorms and received the mailbox stuffer.

On top of that, the University has class all day and all evening, so many PNM's end up with evening classes, if the day sessions are filled. It stinks, but our Panhellenic works around it as well as they can.

Frequently we will have a few PNM's on an "abbreviated" schedule, where they are only in each chapter's party for maybe 15 minutes, but at least that way each chapter gets to meet them and they get to meet the actives.

I guess there is no perfect answer. I think the advice given here has been great!
