Greeklawgirl pretty much hit the nail on the head!
For the last two spring semesters, we had a partially structured recruitment where all the PNMs would come to an Open House (held on a Monday) and meet the three sororities. Each sorority would hold their own parties throughout the week and it was the PNMs decision which parties she attended. (The three sororities tried not to schedule parties at the same time). NPC also set a rule that no one can hand out bids until Friday at noon at a scaled down version of Bid Day. This year, we decided that since some groups could only take approximately 4 PNMs, we were going to try a totally unstructured COB recruitment.
I pledged in 1997 and we did have four NPC groups on campus. In fact, I was part of the last fully structured recruitment SFSU held in Spring. Unfortunately, the year after I pledged, the fourth group decided to go alum due to low interest in Greek Life and low numbers. In the past few years, we’ve had an overwhelming amount of PNMs and it’s getting to the point where we are evaluating whether or not to either raise house total or to add a new group. This Spring and next Fall will really help to see what direction Panhellenic is going to take.
