Delaware Recruitment Thread!

If a girl goes through and does not recieve a bid from any of the existing chapters, she can then go to ADPi when they have their colonization interviews in a few weeks - BUT you have to make an actual attempt through formal rush and can't withdraw from rush. If a PNM who goes through formal rush recieves a bid, but chooses not to accept, she cannot "rush" ADPi when they have their interviews in early March.

The only problem I could see with this is that this could greatly, greatly cut down on the amount of girls that ADPi would actually be able to take. Assuming that they had a good bid matching program, most girls probably will end up somewhere, and I'm willing to guess that a good number of the girls that are dropped are probably feeling some bitterness towards the Greek system. This could leave them with a relatively small number from which to choose, which puts them at a disadvantage.

I'm only saying this because I was a member of a colony and I went through formal recruitment. ZTA made a presentation at kickoff night, and then the rest of the week proceeded. I ended up dropped from recruitment, but I was the only girl in my 65 person pledge class that was in that situation. 3 dropped from recruitment, and the rest just never were interested in any of the other groups.

Oh I completely agree with you. I understand that they want to make sure that girls considering ADPi make sure that they really get a feel for the whole panhel community before they decide that the only sorority for them would be ADPi, but I agree that it could potentially hurt the numbers for the colony. I guess if someone reallllly wanted ADPi they could just act like asses at the other recruitment parties to ensure they're cut lol They say they're expect over 100 for the colony though, so I guess they know something we don't.

I'm really excited to see how the whole process works out - I've never seen a colonization before.
