Indiana University Recruitment

[Barbie's_Rush]

The whole idea of bed rush and the strong desire to live in the house for three years is fascinating to me. hat happens if a girl is local and plans on living at home for all of her college years? Is there a live-in requirement for all members even if they are local? Would such a pnm be at a disadvantage during recruitment?

From what I understood from my friends at IU, yes, the live-in requirement is absolute. I know a few senior girls are allowed to live off-campus, but (from what I understood) most do not.

The live-in requirement is different for every chapter. In my chapter, all the seniors live out, and we have one junior who lives out because of special circumstances.
I can't stress enough through that each house has its own living requirements and that it isn't a focus for potential new members.

As a University whose 19 sororities all have chapter houses, everyone wants to live-in. You get to live with your sisters for all of college essentially. Therefore, the girls that are from Bloomington and live at home are not going to go through recruitment if they have to live at home. There are several girls in my chapter who are from the town and all of them live in the house.

That's just the way it goes here. With about half of girls actually getting a bid, every spot in a house is competitive so it would be a huge disadvantage for a pnm who wanted to live at home.
