I agree with UGAMomof4....I, too, think recruitment should be later (and anything, really, could be better than ending with bids issued on the first day of class....duh....freshmen....huge campus....we started right off sending a message that greek was as (if not more) valuable than class what with all of the focus on the bid coming. Of course, I went right along with it all and didn't override that impression with my DD since I was just as wrapped up in waiting for the bid to come out, and how the first night at the house went for her. Classes? Who noticed classes?

Oddly, I think the decision to do bid day this way was actually an attempt to downplay recruitment. In the bad old days when recruitment was way before classes started, it was not unheard of for girls to decide to transfer after a bad rush.

Now, if you moved recruitment further into the semester, you don't have that problem, but you have a host of others.
