Recruitment Advice

[illinigirly1989]

I only had 2 left and they were my bottom two. I just really didn't click with the girls I talked to (I went back twice and it just wasn't working out). I couldn't see myself living at the house and I would've felt wrong joining a house I didn't love just so I could be in any sorority. I felt like it would've been unfair both to the girls in those sororities and the other girls who maybe really really wanted to be in that sorority (not to mention myself)

Did Alpha Xi Delta begin their colonization events yet?

My only other advice would be to be honest with yourself and speculate why you may have been cut and try to remedy that problem.

According to their site, their recruitment just ended on the 25th.

try getting in touch with chapters you might be interested in directly next semester or ask people you're friends with in those sororities if they're doing infomal. I know when I emailed the greek life office about informal last year they told me only a couple of the chapters were doing informal and yet my friend ended up going through informal at a chapter that wasn't on the list (she was friends with a girl in the house and found out that way). I don't know if the houses aren't good about letting greek life know or what the deal was...

The chapter might have had only a very few spots open and already had an idea of who they wanted to fill them.

Yeah normally when a chapter has very few open spots to fill, they don't publicize informal, because they don't want an event with 50 PNMs when they can only extend 5-10 bids.
