Indiana University Recruitment 2020

[Cookiez17]

In a thread I found in the archives (this was before the big expansion they did over the last few years), IU did say that eventually they did want all 26 NPC orgs on campus one day which sounds insane. I bet that could happen one day and there would still be gripes over everything being unfair. I know that recruitment is extremely competitive here but it's crazy that people will drop just because they didn't get into (I don't know anything about IU rankings) what 3 houses that the loads of PNMs are vying for? It stinks how hard the ranking goes and it even extends to the parents telling their daughters to drop instead of giving their lists a chance.

The idea of all 26 NPCs at IU was under a previous FSA, and there have been two FSAs since this one. I no longer think that is IU's goal. They have issued a moratorium on land sales which would definitely keep some nationals from pulling the trigger.

Yeah as I said it was an extremely old thread. I would like to see tri sigma and tri delta back there at some point, certainly not now since they have a ton of houses.

Tri Delta left under extremely acrimonious circumstances. I don’t think they will want to give that a try for quite a while.

Yeah it was really sad especially reading how they were on suspension for a good while and nationals was the one to pull the charter, not the school, which means something really bad must've been going on.

Actually where sororities are concerned, it’s very much the other way around.

Oh I can see why as terrible as it sounds.

Most will not agree, but I believe IU is out to eventually eliminate greek life altogether. An uber competitive recruitment process will only help that. Add greek agreement which are unworkable and designed to cause "violations." It won't be this year or next, but it's coming one day.

As for sorority recruitment, it seems to me that girls need to be strategic and realistic in who they target. Very similar to college admissions -- don't just apply to the most competitive schools. It's a tough process. Good luck to all.

I can't necessarily agree that IU is trying to kill Greek life, but the number of houses on some sort of disciplinary action is definitely eye-opening:

It certainly seems like the administration is taking frat/sorority discipline very seriously and has been for several years now. Things we heard during orientation reinforced this perception. I think all big universities are struggling with just what to do here.

Many of those "infractions" are bogus and based on conduct that many would consider normal for college aged kids.
