UGH!
I am recruitment advisor at a school that decided to move recruitment this year from August to NOVEMBER OVER FALL BREAK. It is a huge mess! Dirty rushing is rampant. The women in my chapter are drowning between the school work (mid terms) and trying to prepare for Recruitment. I think it has been bad for chapter morale (no time spent bonding at the beginning of the semester over Recruitment prep like usual and no new pledge class (other than a small COB group of upperclassmen) to get excited about. Every fall we have a Greek event around the beginning of basketball season that includes skits put on by the new members. The skits for the sororities were cancelled this year because we don't have new member classes yet. We can't get midterm grades (not all professors provide them) so we could end up taking a whole class of women who are failing out of college despite the fact that they did well in high school.
It's also terribly hard on advisors like myself who have children in school. I'm trying to juggle work, advising, family life, soccer practice, homework, etc.
Say a prayer or just think positive thoughts for us. Recruitment starts Saturday morning and runs for 4 straight days - with Preference AND Bid Day on the last day.
I need a drink...
