i guess that i am referring to those fraternity chapters who participate in formal recruitment, get 10-15 new members and feel content to be done for the rest of the year. they basically keep the status quo-they maintain, but don't take the opportunity to grow larger. there have to be some quality guys on campus who fall under the radar, would enhance the chapter and make great members. could it be that the fraternity's headquarters don't place much emphasis on numbers? or is it that the majority of guys don't feel they need to join fraternities? and if that's the case, are the fraternities marketing themselves properly?
if a sorority falls short of pledging quota, or is below campus total, they aren't going to stop recruiting just because formal recruitment is over. they most likely will continue to recruit thru out the entire year, if need be. they may not meet their goal, but there will continue to try.
continual recruiting does not have to cost a lot of money-it would cost them some time. if they met a great guy in class, or in a campus organization they both belong to, they could invite him over to the house to watch a sporting event on t.v. or to a party or social already on the calendar.
so, is it that sororities are held to a certain standard by their headquarters and fraternities just don't consider it that important? or is it because the goals-quota/total are more concrete? could it be the difference between a wedding the groom planned vs. a wedding planned by the bride? maybe tsteven hit the nail on the head when he said "sororities are from venus, fraternities are from mars."
