Does Alpha Sigma Alpha participate in formal recruitment? I remember they used to. Did they become a chapter that only does informal/COB?

ASA only participated in Open House Round both last year and this year.

Recruitment at this time of year must be brutal! Someone tried to convince me to go to a winter festival this week…yeah, it wasn’t really happening. It’s one thing to ski or hike when it’s cold and you’re dressed for it, but to try to socialize or move between events and look nice when it’s really, really cold and snowing and slushy is just not a good time.

IU used to do first round of recruitment in October and all the rest the week before second semester classes started in January.

Yeah, I remember that. That would be really frustrating, to have to wait that long to see who invited you back.

I feel like I’ve discussed this book here before, but maybe not? https://www.hup.harvard.edu/books/9780674088023

The sociologists who wrote the book didn’t come right out and say it was IU…but they mentioned that weird detail about their recruitment being split like that, so people were able to figure it out pretty quickly lol…

It’s an excellent book- more focused on how financial resources affect college outcomes but it does touch on Greek life and how it sets the social scene for a lot of people at schools like IU.
