In the interest of fairness (What else can we do?)

[misscherrypie]

Our chapter has gotten some interest in the past month or so from potential members who are interested in more information about Beta Sigma Phi. After talking with these potential members, we found that several of them are entering as Freshmen this fall.

In the interest of fairness, while we welcome getting to know new faces and seeing if they are a good fit for our Beta chapter.....it seems somewhat disingenuous to me personally, to invite them to rush with us, when they honestly have a wide open opportunity to go through Panhellenic Recruitment now.

I am aware that the Greek Organizations do not promote any organization over another during their recruitment activities and with us not being a part of Greek or Campus Life, with different activities (and we're much different as an organization anyway.....) we don't want to seem like we're "promoting ourselves" and attracting PNMs 'away' from Panhellenic who might find that Beta isn't what they were truly seeking, if they were to not go through Panhellenic recruitment and go through rush with us instead.

So far, we've adopted the following policy: we've encouraged these entering Freshmen who are interested in being involved with Greek Life to register for Panhellenic or MGC recruitment and see where that takes them. If they are still interested in Beta Sigma Phi, after recruitment is over, we'd be happy to invite them to rush with us.

We scheduled our rush events for dates AFTER the other orgs are holding their recruitment activities for this reason, and aren't promoting our rush, other than through our chapter's website. We figure that should solve any other concerns.

Is there anything else that we might be able to do to be as "fair and reasonable" as possible in this situation that I'm personally not seeing?

Thank you.
