I saw on t_witter where the schedule had been released, so I thought I would post it here. I have not heard whether or not pre-recruitment activities will still be allowed. There was discussion this spring about discontinuing pre-recruitment activities for the individual chapters since not all chapters have housing.

2014 FORMAL RECRUITMENT DATES:

January 8- PNM Orientation (PNMs must be back in Bloomington by 7 pm)
January 9- Open Round Day 1 (21 Party)
January 10- Open Round Day 2 (21 Party)
January 11- First Invite Day 1 (14 Party)
January 12- First Invite Day 2 (14 Party)
January 18- Second Invite (8 Party)
January 19- Preference Round (3 Party)
January 21- Bid Day

Wait - if I read this right, they will do 21 parties in two days, then first invite 14 just after in two days? I think even Bama doesn't have that many chapters, but their 1st round over three days with a half day in between the first two rounds.

Then, they have a 6 day break and they have to go to class before 2nd invite? Then after prefs they will have to go to class Monday and get bids Tuesday night?

Won't this put even more stress on who in the chapters the girls know before hand just to get an invite for 14 party?

Alabama has 18 chapters, 16 of which participate in formal recruitment, but our schedule works the same for the first two rounds! That is, 16 parties over the first two days, then 12 parties over the next two days. I can't imagine going to 21, though...

Just to clarify, Alabama has 17 NPC groups. The 18th one referred to here is a Christian, non NPC group. One NPC group does not participate in formal recruitment.
