Fraternities do recruitment a bit different at Iowa State (and on some other campuses). Basically they use an informal recruiting process that starts (correct me if I'm wrong here IowaStatePhiPsi) as early as April. Basically incoming men receive informational pieces and phone calls from the different fraternities and often when they come up for summer orientation they will check out the chapters that they're interested in. Some guys check out tons of different houses, some look at just one or two. The fraternities do different functions, take trips, stuff like that and men are bid throughout the summer. From the two summers that I lived in different houses, I felt that it was a much more laid back process than formal. Guys are also generally able to move into the fraternity right away.
