Nonono, we're all required to participate in the Fall Open House (what I think Panhel is calling it), and we see the benefit in it, for sure. But in terms of my own chapter, I'm not sure if our resources could be stretched to do pledging four quarters in the row. If we do happen to encounter some upper classmen or freshmen during this fall round that would be good potential sisters, hopefully we can convince them to come to recruitment events in winter, when formal happens. The upper classmen wouldn't be required to sign up for formal, we can invite them "off quota", the freshmen would have to do the whole thing again.
In addition, we've finally instituted a ceiling. I think it may be 65? With all of the "out of formal" recruitment going on, it is the only way to keep the big from getting bigger and the small from getting smaller. But again, being locals, there's no real "push" to take quota..yeah its good, but our alumn associations (well, at least mine) doesn't really give a hoot if you take quota or not, as long as at least one girl is pledging.
