Alright, with fall rush over in most places, it's a good time to be asking this: what works for you and what doesn't? Here's the scoop: Next month I'm running for IFC VP of Recruitment, and I want to have a full proposal worked out for the next rush cycle.
Right now, there is no men's rush. IFC does absolutely nothing- no outreach or advertising, no formal rush activities, zero, nada, nilch. This is not working out- I don't have this fall's recruitment figures yet, but last spring a total of 48 men were initiated into IFC groups- 12 of those were SigEp's (who have a number of very serious advantages, but who also work damn hard and it shows), and the rest were spead in two's and three's across other houses. Five houses had no new members last spring. This is at a university with 19,000 undergrads. Clearly something is not right.
IFC should be working to drum up support and get men interested in recruitment. The individual chapters cannot and should not be selling the whole system at the same time they're selling themselves.
My preference would be for something incredibly structured a la Texas or Colorado, but I know we could never make that change in just one semester. What are some good places we can start? (Keep in mind, nothing is too simple or basic, because we're starting from absolute zero.)
