Our rush used to consist of an orientation rushees had to go to. Then there was a series of rounds where each fraternity had a room on campus and had 30min with groups of PNMs and gave presentations or did some sort of team building activity. Then each group had individual nights off campus. Most groups already had people in mind and PNMs pretty much had their mind made up by orientation, so it was all a waste of time. The funny part was the groups all knew who they were taking so they made the guys go to the required night and then told them to skip the rounds/individual nights.
When IFC realized that, recruitment went strictly informal and I believe currently they only do a general info night (not required) and then tell PNMs when each group will have an individual night (where an IFC rep is present).
And if you can extend a non-binding bid, do it. No point in dealing with BS if IFC doesn't want to work with you or if you're getting stonewalled by a groups who like things the way they are. Take advantage of non-binding bids and issue them to PNMs.
