There really isn't any informal recruitment process during the fall for houses that already make their quota (which SDT does). However if you get cut from formal recruitment you can sign up for informal recruitment afterwards- this is where houses still have one or two bids open and they try to fill those spots. You have to have gone through formal recruitment to do this though.

One of the biggest trends I've seen in IU's rush is that girls who don't go into recruitment with an open mind are the ones that will end up hurt the most. I was dead set on being in one house before rush began but during formal recruitment I ended up finding a much better fit for my personality in the chapter that I received a bid from.

You might think you belong in one house-- but the chapter knows itself better than you do. It has to be a mutual selection process to find out which houses are better suited for you and which houses you are suited for.
