Professional/service fraternity recruitment

[ForeverRoses]

My dorm neighbor was/is a Delta Sigma Pi and was in our (social) sorority. For Delta Sig at least, they would hold rush both in the fall and winter/spring. So she went through formal recruitment/new memeber period in the fall for AOII and then winter rush for Delta Sig. yes she did go through two pledge periods- but based on what I saw, they were completely different.

There were a number of things she was required to do as a business fraternity pledge that would have been considered hazing as an AOII (having actives sign her pledge book, wearing the pledge pin at all times, etc).

I think the only conflict she ever had was with formal- both her formals were on the same night, so she had to chose which one to go to.
