recruitment at large schools
okay no need to explain the whole process of rush cause i could prolly explain it to you lol. i've heard about it enough but i had one lingering question.
at schools with a large greek life (9+ sororities), how do you keep track of one PNM? take ole miss for example. 9 sororities. almost a thousand girls going through each house trying to decide on one. how does the chapter know which girls to invite back? i understand that there may be a handful of girls that you can absolutely not live without but what about filling out the bid list? if quota is 90, surely you cant just name 90 girls off the top of your head (out of a thousand) that you want to offer a bid to. and i can understand having their applications and pictures in front of you to look at but what if you get them confused with someone else? it just doesnt seem as personal.
i do understand it at smaller schools though. if you've got 3 sororities and a hundred PNMs, then you can easily remember which ones you really liked.
oh and another question. i've heard about "dirty rushing" and understand it but a question i have is: what about during rush? like at a pref party, for instance, are you allowed at any point to tell the sister rushing you how much you really like the sorority? now it would seem fake to me to say, at the first party, "oh i really love your house, its so great, i just know i want this house" but then again how about at pref can you tell the sister how much you like the house and have enjoyed yourself? or is this considered "dirty" and are you supposed to just keep everything in your head until bid day?
dont get me wrong at all...i think recruitment is awesome. i think its an amazing way to get to know the houses and girls but i worry about it at large schools. its easier for you to remember them because you only have to worry about yourself. they, on the other hand, have to decide on 90 girls.
