Indiana University Recruitment

Again with the unnecessary brutality...

As I said above: 46% of women who begin at 19 party will get a house. So yes, as you so cleverly noted, that does include women to drop out because they decide it isn't for them, women who drop out because they didn't get the houses they wanted back, and women who don't make grades (2.5 GPA- which is a very low standard to begin with), and also those who are released from the 19 chapters. This affiliation rate was presented at the IU Panhellenic Association this past semester. And you can check the minutes it you don't believe it KSU.

At the meeting, it was presented that while a decent number of these women are drops, but the majority are in fact dropped by the houses.

1600 girls began rush this year for spots in 19 houses that all operate on a bed quota system. All chapters on campus made full quota this year except one. And aside from that one house, everyone will be at full capacity- many have live-out policies so they can take as many girls as possible.
Since not every house is the same size, every chapter takes a different amount of girls. For some chapters, "full capacity" meant that they took 30 girls for their new pledge class. For others, "full capacity" was nearly 60 new women.

No need for the snippiness hun. It's not quite that serious.

Please don't call into question my integrity by calling into question the accuracy of my statements and statistics.

I just wanted to give up to date information on recruitment. That was something I didn't find on this site when I went through recruitment. So I thought it was needed.

No one was questioning your integrity. I think we now understand why this thread was created. Let's keep it moving so things will remain civil.

Point taken.

To continue the discussion, I have wondered why it is that if the placement rates are that low, that the IU Panhellenic doesn't insist on at least looking into switching to a traditional quota system.
