I'm with IndianaSigKap, you may need to look at other fraternities on campus.

To me, this is the major difference between IFC rush and Panhellenic rush. With Panhellenic rush and the way pnms rank and the chapters invite, at least the pnms know that when they are not invited back to a group, they can concentrate on other groups (or should concentrate on other groups).

With most IFC rushes, the guys can keep going back to a group that may not be interested in bidding them. Yes, there are ways that the chapter can subtly let someone know "We aren't going to bid you"; but, an oblivious pnm doesn't pick up the signals and puts all his eggs in one basket and then ends up with no bids during rush.

This is why I prefer the semi-formal recruitment. Make the pnms go to all the houses and talk to the members for a couple of days. Then let the chapters extend invitations to guys they want to continue in the process. At least the pnms will know then which chapters they truly have a chance of getting a bid with. I believe some campuses like Arkansas, LSU, and Ole Miss do this. I'm sure there are others.

End of rant.
