One alumna posted an article from the Tri Delta Trident, and it really bears reading: Recruitment Demystified. There's a place to click to download the article - please read at least the first six pages (there are pictures, don't panic!) - it would be great to see this in every GLO magazine!

Betty the mom is super smart and needs to be cloned. I particularly liked this part:

A legacy is just a piece of history. The Greek reality is that they’re all great organizations and they all have wonderful girls and they’re all a place to hang your hat and a shirt to wear. It’s you who has to get in there and make the memories great.

This article also made me nebby about what the "old" MS procedures were and what the "new" ones were going to be. Just simple human curiousity. Hee hee.

"Dirty recruitment" just doesn't sound as "dirty" as it truly is.

Obviously, the old quota system has played into this: the one where quota was set after first or second parties that had some groups taking massive numbers and the others less than 10. Even as a collegian, I remarked to friends that it would result in huge numbers of legacies someday and it has.

Picture this scenario at bid matching: "Okay, ladies, we know that quota is 50 but since ABC has 200 legacies, they will be allowed to take them all. And DEF, you can have all 100 of yours."

The Greek system set itself up for this. It made a bunch of women really happy back in the day but now, we're reaping the worst of it.
