Spring Recruitment vs. Fall

Simply arriving a week early for classes is far different than traveling to the school throughout the summer or your last semester of high school for rush parties.

3 - If a high school senior (HSS) gets a letter/brochure in Mar. or April says "congratulatons on being accepted ... there are XX GLOs on campus, and you may be invited to visit one or more of them for a weekend this spring ... and we're sure you will enjoy that visit."

A week later, the HSS gets a letter from a GLO member: "Great to hear that another guy from my hometown and my HS is coming to XYZ College. I'm a member of ZBT GLO, and would like to invite you spend a weekend at our house, especially the weekend of the Little 500 (April 29-31) or our spring house party (May 10-12). Hope to see you then, or when I get back home in June.

Many schools have "greek weekends." They are a wonderful idea. What it sounded like you were talking about was giving someone a bid who was still a high school student and asking that person to attend multiple rush parties while still a high school student.

4 - Rush is year-round. Some pledge in the spring - fall - winter - spring. The freshman can pledge when he/she's comfortable.

Yeah, theoretically. But read some of the LSU or UGA sorority rush threads and you will see that is simply not the case - either you receive a bid as a pre-freshman through fall formal rush, or you don't receive a bid at all. It would be great to see NPC do more than pay lip service to the "rush is 24/7/365" concept at some of these type of schools.

I think this is another boys are different than girls thread.
