UCLA 2012 Recruitment

Those are some serious live-out dues. If the chapter house is paid for and full, that actually seems really greedy to me.

Maintenance, replacements and repairs! That stuff adds up fast. My own home seems determined to run me to the poor house.

Please add if you know.

I've seen facebook posts on each chapters' page welcoming the new members, but few are listing numbers. (Hmmm, since almost every group met/exceeded quota, I wonder why not post?)

Probably to de-emphasize the importance of the actual number. I think we can get caught up in the range of numbers and the chapter that makes exactly quota or misses by a few can be seen as failing when that is not at all the case. As we've discussed, with RFM being what it is, a chapter can have such tight restrictions and be head to head with the same, equally restricted chapters, and end up dividing up an already very small pool.

I wish they would post ALL the numbers, but I guess I can see why a chapter/organization/school would prefer if we didn't.

I could also see it being plain old lack of organization or caring. When it comes to keeping websites, twitter accounts and facebook pages up-to-date, a lot of college chapters just aren't very good at it. I see a lot of updates and activity in the month before recruitment, then it all slows down. I'm sure most of the sisters are focused on loving their new members and getting to work on their classes, but this kind of PR and communication is really an afterthought for many groups.
