Due to the smaller anticipated numbers for spring recruitment, I have heard that chapters may not require 100 percent participation from their actives. For example, some houses may have just their sophomores, new initiates and some representatives from their leadership run the parties. This is a great opportunity for new members to learn the ropes for recruitment before the chaos of Formal recruitment when the numbers are so much larger. If Spring recruitment becomes a permanent feature, it might reduce the numbers going through in the fall.
I can see where this may benefit the chapters who regularly have some form of spring recruitment, as they are most likely very familiar with informal recruitment strategies and such. This is potentially a good experience for other chapters though, as they will learn about COB/informal.
