I'll admit, when I first got involved with Greek life, I never thought that way, either. I was fortunate enough to end up where I belonged, but that doesn't happen with a lot of girls on our campus because they don't even really know that they have other options. That might sound weird, and it's hard to explain, but that's how it is. Because for 90% of the girls on this campus, they don't think "I want to be Greek!" Instead, they are generally asked to attend recruitment events by individual chapters.
I'm afraid that girls will visit only specific chapters, be left out, and not understand why. Greek life isn't a way of life around here, and the rules aren't understood by everyone.
I guess that the best way I can describe it is to relate it to fraternity recruitment.. with a total.

but aren't girls visiting specific chapters now, with the current mode of recruitment? with structured recruitment they would at least be expected to visit each chapter at least once(on my campus, they visit each chapter for two nights before any voting is done).
the panhellenic council would carry the brunt of the organizing and dispensing of information about recruitment-which it seems is being shouldered by each chapter right now.
you advisors need to meet asap, to share the info. that you know and to plan a strategy to present to the greek life advisor. you all also need to meet with the gl advisor asap so that you know what is going on and how recruitment will be held in the winter.
