NPC- informal cancelled.

What would be potential reasons for NPC to contact a school and disallow them to hold a winter informal rush?

Our's got cancelled, which makes me really upset, but no one seems to know or understand why. I was wondering if anyone here might have some ideas!

That sounds strange. Are you sure that it was cancelled? The only reasons that I can think of for why a chapter would not be able to recruit informally is if it is at or above total or if it is on probation and not being allowed to recruit is one of the stipulations of probation. If all of the chapters at your school are at or above total, then your school would not hold an informal recruitment.

Also, if there is a group that is colonizing, other groups are asked to wait a few weeks so that the new group can get started with their membership selection process.

Have you tried contacting your chapter's Panhellenic rep? I find it hard to believe the campus NPC wouldn't know why they can't hold informal recruitment?

She isn't a member, she is going thru rush to try & join.

And are you sure it was NPC that cancelled your recruitment, and that you're not confusing it with your local Panhellenic Council?

When you say "winter" - do you mean a rush held over a short winter term, or a rush that starts when everyone comes back after Christmas break? The latter is more often referred to as "spring" rush even though spring hasn't started yet according to the calendar.

Did you get this information from the school or from a sorority member?
