Lynn...
I'll tell you...
One of my goals before I finish being the Recruitment Advisor is to get the campus to boot deferred recruitment. But before I can do that I need to get my facts together...especially on university retention rates, scholarship, etc.
WCU is a place that has absolutely nothing to do (No lie...no chain restaurants besides fast food...no "young people" hang outs...no mall for 45 miles) so people either leave the university after their first semester or they "have no reason" to go Greek because they have gotten involved in other things on campus or "don't need to pay for friends" when they made their own. I think there are so many great leaders at WCU that just never gave it thought because of the Spring Recruitment period. With the declining numbers its really going to give me an ulcer LOL. I guess if this year has poor participation again then I will really have to start putting together a case to get rid of deferred recruitment.
Speaking about gaining a GV...the peak of our recruitments were the year that we first had the GV. They are great communities to have. I'm anxious for this year with it being my first year being the Recruitment Advisor!! I'm going to be biting my nails until the year is over
