Hi Alumi Yum, yea everyone works hard to get through recruitment, espcecially fall because this is usually the best rush for all the orgs on my campus. We get the most rushees and the largest pledge class. This is when freshman know very little about the school or classes and still have lots of free time. They are finding there way around when they are approached by invididuals wearing jackets and sweaters displaying two to three unusual looking symbols. They are given a flyer and are invited to come out to an event with them that night by total strangers. Is that going to convince them to come out?
Personally I think this scenario might seem kinda intimidating so its makes rush difficult. By spring they know who we are so its more of either they are interested or not. I think fraternity recruitment is harder then sororities though it doesn't quite show that much on my campus since its seems that both only have pledge classes of about 5 to 10. The sororities talk about their community service and bond easier with their rushees making them feel more comfortable. They emphasize their sisterhood.
The fraternities emphasize their brotherhood as well but I think the rushees are more interested in girls then wanting to hang out and bond with a bunch of guys. Of course this aint true for everyone, yes some guys really are looking for brotherhood and connections for after graduation. But yea, we have to go out to them, though on rare ocasions some guys have walked up to our booth being interested in joining our fraternity. I wish more people would come to us, but I doubt it will happen.
