University of Alabama Fall 2014 NPC Sorority Recruitment

[ColdInCanada11]

The concept of recruitment before school starts is altogether foreign to me, although I can see why it would be beneficial at some schools! One thing I've never understood though- at U of A, would COR/COB happen in the beginning of school? Or is there a different preferred time?

At Alabama, COR/ COB is apparently held when ever the University demands that sororities do it, whether they are at or even above total

That only happened last year. And they raised total to accomodate it. Whether that will need happen this year remains to be seen.

If this was already discussed, then please excuse me for asking it again. Does anyone know exactly when recommendations are due for the University of Alabama? I was just wondering. Thanks.

They were due July 15. Due to the sheer volume of recs they receive, I believe anything received after that date runs the risk of not being accepted.

I think July 15th was a Panhellenic recommendation, not necessarily an indicator of acceptance/rejection by individual chapters.

However, it is certainly best to have recs in by July 15th -- if not before that date.

I wouldn't say not "accepted" but rather that they wouldn't have time to look at it. There is a difference.

True...bad choice of words. I would definitely agree with you on that!
