I am about to commit heresy: I wish IU would move to summer/pre-semester recruitment. Now that strides are being made to move away from bed rush, which was the real reason IU had deferred recruitment, the campus no longer needs to wait until January. The women who struggle in grades for first semester would have someone checking up on them, older members to ask for help and older members to mentor and tutor them.
With 22 chapters (soon to be 23), it only makes sense to make the move to summer recruitment. The dorms already open a week early for "Welcome Week", open two days earlier and the entire process could be done and over by the time classes start. Chapters who have girls drop or transfer at semester break could participate in a winter unstructured or structured COB.
