Rush this fall will be the hardest
As I'm sure Josh can atest, this rush is going to be big. We're looking forward to bringing in a lot of PNMs this fall, and the school seems to support us just a little bit now.
Now comes the problem. Last fall, the big houses got tremendously big (some went from 40 to 80, one went from 80 to 100, one went from 50 to 75), and the smaller houses stayed small (one went from 18 to 20, one actually went from 20 to 12!)
In addition, next fall, Kappa Sig is coming back, and unlike when we were restructured, they're going to have a butt load of alums helping them to go from 30 to God knows how big. And in the Spring, Lambdi Chi is coming back.
So, we're going to have 16 IFC houses plus TKE looking for guys, and if my house, as one of the smaller ones, doesn't get a good size pledge class, we're going to be left behind, so to speak.
Does anyone have any recruitmen strategies that smaller houses could use when "competing" against the bigger ones? It's kinda hard for the smaller houses to find guys when many want to join a big house (often for that very reason).
What exactly should we point out to PNMs? What aspects should we bring up that we can show that we're just as tight as the big houses.
I mean, winning APhi's Philan. and placing 3rd in Greek Week doesn't say much to PNMs because they probably will have no idea what we're talking about.
