I’ve heard of this happening before – but I’ve always thought it was more folklore than something that commonly occurs.
It seems logistically unlikely – in the time frame of two weeks or less – that one could apply to another school, submit all paperwork necessary for admission (official transcripts, etc), receive acceptance, make housing arrangements (dorm assignments, roommates, etc), attend advising and register for classes, register for recruitment, have alums submit recs necessary for recruitment to the chapters at the
new school, move out of current location, and move into new location.
Not to mention the futility of the effort, if even logistically possible. With smartphones and social media, a recruitment shell game would most certainly be noticed (the alums asked to submit recs
again would notice as well). And anyway, how would a PNM's prospects for joining the chapter of her choice improve in two weeks for recruitment somewhere else?
I wouldn’t be surprised if some disappointed girls eventually transferred to other schools and tried again, or even withdrew following recruitment. However, I would think this happens to some degree on any campus strongly influenced by the Greek system, regardless of when recruitment is held.
