TBSG.....
It's not rude to question what you don't understand. Unfortunately, there's no way you can until you've lived it from both sides
Formal recruitment isn't perfect and it's not the only way. My group had more success in COB until this year when we almost doubled our numbers.
Also there are many times that there may be people on the floor that can't rush.....it depends on the rules from Panhellenic. While it may look like there are extras, they may be just there to look good number wise.
And no matter what my fellow GC's say, there is no way that everyone can feel special during formal recruitment. It would be nice but that's pretty idealistic. Also, we also can be devastated that women didn't return to our parties thaat we wanted to. There can be hurt and sadness on both sides.
I know that doesn't help you. Your next step is to decide whether you still have an interest and pursue it, or become involved on campus elsewhere. Good Luck, whatever you decide.
