First of all, I would refer to the gentlemen you are talking about as "rush chairs" instead of "recruiters." Recruiters are for the military and cults.

Did you read this on their chapter website, or their national website? (Or on that which I so despise, a site masquerading as a chapter website with nothing but national templates on it) This may be something the national org wants groups to do, but for reasons of manpower or campus culture, may not be something a local chapter can/will participate in.

If this is scuttlebutt you've heard around campus but not actually seen occur, it's the same deal.

Your best bet is to get to know men in the fraternities personally, as Gusteau said, rather than just sending a flurry of emails. If they are open to new pledges at this time, they will let you know. Good luck!
