^^^ good advice

If the glitz and glamour of formal recruitment is something you don't want to miss out on, don't worry. You'll be participating on the "other side." You could volunteer for the recuitment committee and have a lot of fun being involved with planning, prep, etc. I know members who live for formal recruitment -- and others who can't wait for the drama to be over. You may be just the type who would love the excitement.
