I'm so excited for recruitment!!!! We just had our work weekend last weekend (which was a blast) and I'm so excited to go back to school and also get a great group of girls from recruitment!! At Northwest Missouri State University recruitment is undergoing huge changes this year. First of all we are going from medium frills (not big time frills, we don't have exact same pattern matching pref dresses or anything like that
) to a big time no frills. No skits, no bump lines, no decorations except a brag table and then fresh flowers and 2 4x6 pix on tables in those plain clear plastic frames, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Also, Sigma Alpha, a national ag sorority on our campus is going through panhellenic recruitment for the first time. Don't know how that's going to work out with quota and all since they aren't npc, and they have to maintain a 70% ag major ratio. However, I do think it will help recruitment as a whole, especially the sorority that is struggling and has problems with reaching quota during recruitment since more people will think to cut Sigma Alpha on day 1 because of the whole ag thing (which I'm not dissing aggies by any means, I grew up on a farm myself...but was never into all of it). And oh yeah sororities on campus don't have chapter houses, but we each have a floor on the sorority dorm. We hold the parties in various large rooms around campus. The sororites we have are Sigma Kappa, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Phi Mu, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Delta Zeta and Sigma Alpha. This is going to be my first time on the other side since I'm just going to be a soph, so this will definetly be an interesting experience. I have a feeling I may be on here doing some big time venting if I have any extra time during recruitment!
