Sororities are way more organized, both individually and as a group. NPC-style recruitment is geared toward placing as many PNMs as possible. Most fraternities sign up their pledges at summer rush parties. Very few pledge through formal recruitment. IMHO: stupid, but that's the way it's always been. And gosh darn, they aren't about to change! |
So it sounds like you agree with me that fraternities as a whole would have lots more members if they historically had a more emphasized formal rush, am I right? I would think even if the individual ones didn't have a quota, and the popular ones knew about who they wanted already, the upshot of having more go through rush was that several more individual frats would end up taking more new members as well as the system as a whole than would have been the case with most of the recruiting done informally, no? In fact, when I told an Ole Miss fraternity alum who considered going to Alabama out-of-high-school recently about how Alabama frats recruit; he looked surprised and said "that's interesting, I assumed every school did it like this (formal fraternity recruitment)."
