U of Kentucky "Spring" 2010 Informal Recruitment

[exlurker]

From article in the student paper:

UK Panhellenic is stepping in and working closer with sororities to bring in more new pledges this year, a task that used to be left up to each participating chapter.

Catherine Chin, Panhellenic president, said the decision was made to have a more structured spring recruitment schedule after seeing the success of one specific chapter when it became more organized.

“Alpha Phi was more structured within itself and it worked really well,” Chin said. “Now (recruitment) is much more structured. We have a day by day schedule and themes for every day.”

. . . “(Each chapter) used to just do it on their own, like a sorority would have girls over for an ice cream social or to watch a movie. It was up to them,” she said. “(This year) it’s not as formal as fall recruitment, it’s a little more relaxed and not as dressy, but it’s more structured.”

Katelynn Thomas, Panhellenic vice president of recruitment, said she hopes the changes will get more students interested in recruitment.

. . . .
Chapters that participate in spring recruitment are those that have not met their chapter total for members. Chapters participating this semester are Alpha Phi, Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta Zeta and Sigma Kappa.

Those interested must register with Panhellenic to participate in the week’s events at ukpanhellenic.com
