Hey AGDee,
I am in a sorority at Carleton and we are not recognized as well or any other Greek Organization. The non-recognition at Carleton just makes for a stronger Greek Community bond-we work together to bring positive recognition to the Greek Community. However, the non-recognition and the pop culture of Canada makes it hard for us to appeal to students. Fellow students at Carleton, the campus newspaper and our student soceity have nothing but bad word to say about us.
The Greek Organizations have just formed an IFC in order for us to deal with administration better and to hopefully some day get recognized! Hey-we just got club status!!
So its not the end of the world for non-recognition. It can create a stronger Greek Community and make it more unique-you feel more part of a community than of just another club at school.
We recruite word of mouth. A lot of Greeks volunteer for our frosh week as frosh guides. This gives us a chance to be involved with potential rushees and see their personalities as to whether they would be suited to us.
