On a lighter note, the capitalist v. socialist comparison is amusing. And not that far off from what I've seen! I've always been amazed with the way sorority recruitment is SO formalized with full out schedules, people there to lead you through the process & walk you from door to door, and requirements on how many parties you can go to and whether or not you can cut.
Fraternities generally are more of a free-for-all, less structured, visit who you want when you want. My husband went through at the same time as me and his recruitment was basically "hey, we played soccer together. Want a bid? Come to the house and we'll give you one." Granted, I think that was pushing things a bit and was likely much more casual than most, but it was a stark difference from what I went through.
And even my school had a fairly casual recruitment compared to others. Now even moreso, they're doing a mix between formal recruitment and COB. Basically wander into whatever chapter room you want and talk to people. No singing, no themes, just hang out and get to know people. So I suppose that's closer to how I picture the men's... but still a bit more structured in that it all happens at the same time & same place.
