And why does this not exist for formal recruitment for sororities??
|
For one, without revealing an MS secrets, I would say sororities rely on their sisters more as in not every member meets every PMN whereas Fraternities seem to still want everyone to meet the PMN before invites are extended. There just isn't enough time given in most formal recruitment schedules that I have seen for a PMN to accomplish this at 3 or more houses.
lucgreek is right when she says "pre-existing friendships with fraternity guys" is still the standard way into Greek Life for men. However as it stands many sign up for Formal Recruitment not knowing this and end up with no bid. As we see very often, PMN are not always very good about identifying independently on their own which group is their best match. So for a third of the PMNs, the 2 or 3 houses they chose to go back to during open houses (which follows after the required visit to all houses) have little interest in them, and blink, no match.
I'm not against Formal Fraternity Recruitment, I want it to be successful, I just think it is in a stage of evolution where men are going to left on the sidelines.
