We also have deferred recruitment here and when it was implimented two years ago the issue of disaffiliation came up. Originally the intent was to have a decrease over time, starting about a month or so into the semester and then they would slowly become less and less visible as belonging to any particular sorority. It was to start with letters and go until they were completely disaffiliated. It didn't fly.

Before the first deferred recruitment, this idea was shot down. What we have instead is that our Rho Gammas are being selected now. I think the applications were due today. So right now, no one knows who will be disaffiliated (beyond the Panhellenic executive board, that is). And the disaffiliation doesn't take effect until after exams.

Granted, the potential new members can easily figure out who is in which organization, but with the upperclassmen that go through recruitment (and we usually have quite a few), they're going to know anyway. If the potentials are good sports about it though, they won't ruin the surprise for others....and perhaps that's something that should be mentioned to the potentials by the RCs prior to the first recruitment party.

Hope it all works out for you guys!!
