Structured IFC Rush

[Kevin]

Some excellent points Firehouse. Thanks for the kind words!

Anything that adds to the number of men and women in GLO's in my opinion is good! If just one of us grows we ALL become more visible. Your average non-affiliated kid doesn't know one greek letter or one house from another in most cases.

If IFC rush does bring guys out and lets you sign a few then what harm has it done? None.

The IFC at our school (I may have already said this in this thread) has a provision that effects chapters that are below the IFC average. Anyone below average in size can participate in informal recruitmen -- ie. stage events outside of "formal rush."

This allows groups that are in trouble to catch up after a (usually) poor rush. Some groups are the exception to the rule though. Kappa Sigma after getting all but around 6 members thrown out by their alums were able to put together a GREAT rush and signed one of the biggest classes on campus last Fall. This is because they did a great deal of work with potential new members and alums over the Summer.

Rush is always something where you'll get as much out of it as you put into it.
