If No Deferred Recruitment, What's A Good Alternative?

[ASTalumna06]

Thanks everyone for your responses. I think what I should have included in there was whether or not your chapter received/required recs and/or resumes (if you can share that information). I think that when I pictured PSB turning away from deferred recruitment, the entire process would be a lot more organized. For the fraternities, it's not really that much of a problem. But for the sororities, it's kind of a different story.

From what I understand (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), the majority of schools without deferred recruitment are generally ones with larger chapters, more competitive recruitment periods, and numerous recs being received for PNMs. PSB still has none of these things.

The other thing I'm confused about... Generally our larger new member classes have come in the spring. There has been talk about implementing minimally/partially structured recruitment for the upcoming spring semester. Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it a little backwards to be allowing first semester freshmen to receive bids AND having a more formal kind of recruitment in the spring? I can't think of any campus where this occurs.
