I mean, is there anything showing that Chi Omega has lower disaffiliation figures than other groups because of this? |
I know there have been debates about deferred recruitment here and I hope this doesn't turn into one. I also know that you know I agree with you.
Deferred recruitment, while it has many cons, has many pros. One of which is that you have college grades to go on, rather than high school. It doesn't guarantee that every new member will make grades, but the majority will. Just like you can't guarantee that every active will make grades on a given semester.
I still believe that the only reason why I was able to maintain my grades during my new member period (lovin' these PC terms) was because I'd been through a couple semesters before (I didn't join until the fall of my sophomore year). I may not have had my best grades ever (I was sick most of the semester, was still joining, and a full courseload - honestly I don't know how I
lived through that semester), but at least I was able to maintain my dean's list status.
