Recruitment is looking at who and what you want for your sorority and actively trying to get those women to join. Taking whoever decides to go to a series of parties is not recruitment.
And pledge is not and never has been a slang term.

A dictionary definition of recruitment is a process of adding new individuals to a population. That is what we're doing. And we have done the work to get those girls to come to the parties. We have built a reputation on campus, actively talked with the girls outside of the process to show many of the them was greek life is like, shown our own values so that others know what we stand for and the kind of members we want, we've encouraged our nongreek friends go to through the process because we think they would be an asset, and by setting grade requirements (atleast on some campuses) we have actively begun a selection based on what we want in the girls we are looking for.
Like it or not pledge is fast becoming a slang term although it may not have been in the past.
