Freshmen are permitted to rush and the only other rush the rest of the year is COR. They were doing typical structured rush until 4 or 5 years ago when they moved to this structure. Prior to that, quota tended to be between 7 and 9. There were 9 groups, but one closed recently due to low membership numbers. Sigma Nu Phi does not always participate in formal recruitment. As a local, that's their option.
It's challenging from the chapter side because, with the "self-timed" events, you don't have a real start/end time. You have to watch the door carefully for PNMs coming in to make sure they aren't walking in and standing alone. You could have 200 women in the room at one time or you could have 15.
I remember reading victoriana's recruitment thread and realizing it must be my alma mater because of the way it was structured (or not structured?). Several people questioned her validity as a poster when she was posting her thread because the structure was so strange.
I found out Joan was going through recruitment because she sent me a text asking "Which sorority should I rush for?" and I replied back "All of them!" I encouraged her to go to events for all groups for the first round.
Here is a link to victoriana's thread.
