Two FR's is a lot of energy and money for chapters to spend.

Not arguing with energy/time factor, but our Panhellenic limits each chapter's recruitment budget to $200. If there are two FR, Panhellenic could always set lower budgets for both (to take into account having to do everything twice).

These are good points and something that we should definitely discuss before we make a decision, thank you both!
One other issue that has come up: some Panhell members are concerned that if we do two formal recruitments a year, Fall admit girls will overuse Intentionally Single Preference in the Fall, with the intention of re-rushing with the group in the spring if they do not get their first choice. They would like to ban girls who have ISP'd from rushing for an entire year--in this case until their sophomore fall.
ISP is very common on our campus and something our Panhell discusses frequently, but from my understanding, so long as a girl has not declined a bid, she should be permitted to participate in the next formal recruitment. However, having two formal recruitment per year is a bit anomalous so I'm not sure how it would shake out in this situation.
So in summary, my followup question is: If a campus holds formal recruitment in both the fall and in the spring, can a girl who ISP'd in the fall and was left bidless participate in formal recruitment the spring? Is Panhell permitted to prohibit such girls from participating in spring recruitment? Thanks again!
