I would really like to see them allow the students in that program to go through recruitment but, that is set by the school and it has never, to my knowledge, been brought to the attention of the campus Panhellenic. I think it helps lessen the stigma of being in one of these special programs.

Clemson has the same concept program, called Bridge To Clemson or something like that. There are currently on-campus dorms being built to house students in this program but as of right now we have a good deal of girls go through recruitment as sophomores facing a much tougher GPA requirement because they weren't allowed to go through recruitment as freshmen. I'm not sure if fraternities can recruit or choose to recruit these students on the down low but I know that sororities can't. There's also a lot of friction between students in this program and full-time Clemson students re: whether they truly go to Clemson or not, which allowing Bridge students to join Greek life might ease.
