Please keep in mind that I am referring to officially sanctioned/registered recruitment functions. Perhaps it's the phrase "recruited while in HS" that gives such negative connatations. This is not dirty rushing and there are rules about what can be said/done. Honestly it's a positive thing.
These events are educational and often not limited only to one Univ. Typically they are hosted by alums in that area and actives are invited to attend. They are intended as positive Panhellenic contact as well as giving both actives and pnm's a way to get to know each other better than the 15 minutes allotted in the 1st round of recruitment. PNM's also get the opportunity to meet alums who they can then contact for help in securing recs.
These events occur all over the state in the larger cities and in the surrounding states. Off the top of my head I'm aware of teas that have been planned/held in Atlanta, Memphis and Nashville. Is it fair to someone coming in from say Texas or Calif? Not really, but attending one of these functions is not a pre-requisite to getting a bid. My chapter has extended a great many bids to women both both in-state and out that never attended any of these or even knew about them.
