With the advent of minimually structured and partially structured recruitment styles, I'm seeing all kinds of creative ways to structure recruitment. One school I'm assisting (which I know isn't the one the poster is referring to because 1st semester freshman can go through recruitment here) has a really bizarre schedule: First two rounds, open houses. Between those two open houses, they have "coke dating/informal rounds" where they are allowed, over three days, to do COR type activities. The only invitational round is preference. Open houses allow the new members to rotate around to the different events at their leisure. So, they can spend 2 hours at one chapter and 15 minutes at the other 3 if that's what they want to do. Trying to figure out rotation for these open houses is very challenging because you could have 60 PNMs in your room at one time or 10... and they all come in at different times. Really messy.
