Indiana University Recruitment 2020

Most will not agree, but I believe IU is out to eventually eliminate greek life altogether. An uber competitive recruitment process will only help that. Add greek agreement which are unworkable and designed to cause "violations." It won't be this year or next, but it's coming one day.

As for sorority recruitment, it seems to me that girls need to be strategic and realistic in who they target. Very similar to college admissions -- don't just apply to the most competitive schools. It's a tough process. Good luck to all.

I can't necessarily agree that IU is trying to kill Greek life, but the number of houses on some sort of disciplinary action is definitely eye-opening:

It certainly seems like the administration is taking frat/sorority discipline very seriously and has been for several years now. Things we heard during orientation reinforced this perception. I think all big universities are struggling with just what to do here.

Many of those "infractions" are bogus and based on conduct that many would consider normal for college aged kids.
