What school did you attend? Muhlenberg College
How many students? 1700ish
How many GLO's? (local and national)? 4 NPC
Chapter total? 80
Was your recruitment early fall or deferred? deferred to fall sophomore year
If deferred, when was it held? it used to be the second semester of freshmen year. the year i rushed, our campus moved to sophomore deferment. unfortunately, numbers dropped. and have continued to drop.
Ladies, did you ever serve as a Rho Chi/Rho Gamma? no
If so, did it color your thoughts on when Recruitment was held?
Does your GLO openly support one or the other? not that I know of
Do you think a different style of Recruitment would work better at your school? yes. numbers dropped after the change. they have never recovered. girls don't go through rush with that open mind we are always talking about because they know all of the women in the chapters. they have heard rumors (true or false, they heard them) and it is the biggest joke ever!
Do you think numbers are affected by the timing of Recruitment?
no. i do think that sophomore deferment really lowers the interest tho. so many people i know were like, why do i need to be greek, i have already made lots of friends. and i think that for some people having rush before the school year begins is too much. i think the winter term is right in the middle and would get the most people on my campus.
For those that went through deferred, would you have gone through early fall? No, i didn't want to be in one until the summer btwn 1st and 2nd year. i met some girls that i really liked and i wanted to get involved. and i would not have joined at all unless i had met these ladies bc all of the other chapters openly hazed.
there are other people i believe would have went through if they were able to earlier. it just depends on the person i guess!
