No. The OP, Mountainmama, will be unable to understand recruitment from an initiated member's perspective because she rejected the opportunities she was given. As I mentioned in my post, my daughter went back a second year and pledged the sorority.
Also, I was a sorority member before the new rush rules, and I was curious about them. Frankly, they would have really benefited my chapter back in the 80s, if they'd existed then. I was in the first pledge class of a sorority that had just colonized the semester before, and though we were solidly mid-tier with many campus leaders, we were never QUITE able to catch up with the older groups. I was rush chair my senior year and got us our biggest pledge class ever (doubling the size of our chapter), but it still wasn't quite enough, and we ended up closing a few years after I graduated. Always made me sad. So I am envious when I see the mid- and even low-tier chapters at my daughter's school that, nonetheless, have huge memberships. I wish we'd rushed like this back then.
So I was curious how it worked and if my daughter's experience was typical. Thanks, though.
