[FAURecruitment]

Okay, I just read this thread and I have to say something. I am currently the Vice President of Recruitment at FAU and I held the position last year as well. I honestly don't know what is wrong this year. Last year, we had about 190 women signed up for recruitment, but this year we have.......drumroll please........69 with one more day to sign up. One of the main problems is that Greeks aren't really supported by staff members on our campus. We've done many things to try and change their views but it just doesn't seem to work. Another thing is that a lot of women do not want to participate in recruitment. I've asked several women why and they basically tell me that they've seen things on tv as well as heard things that give greeks a bad name. I've tried talking to them about it but it just doesn't work, they're minds are made up. Also, the fraternities on campus are having a bad year theirselves so, it's just not us.
I want to clarify somethings on the rules. The rules about not being able to socialize with the fraternities was put into pass because many of the sorority women were recruiting for mainly the fraternities rather than for themselves, also on our campus a lot of the freshman girls judge the members of the sororities based on which fraternity they hang out with and that's not what they should be looking at. All sororities on our campus socialize with all of the fraternities.
As for Beta Chi Omega, we are currently taking care of the problem with them. This organization is in the process of becoming a club and on our campus you can form a club as long as you have ten people who want to join. These women know that they may not expand into Chi Omega in the future, but that is what they are basing themselves on.
If you have any more questions, please post here or pm me.
