"Shirting" means bidding someone outside of formal recruitment. After Fall Rush is over, you can "shirt" someone by giving them one of these shirts and formally asking them to join. This is used to pickup guys who didn't sign up for formal rush, or weren't sure they wanted to join until they saw their friends did, latecomers, ect. Spring recruitment is entirely unorganized by IFC and is 100% shirting.

We have a pretty strange IFC at Stetson. Its funny because Panhellenic rush rules are straight out of Soviet Russia, while IFC rules are extremely relaxed.

Granted, it's fraternity usage rather than sorority usage, but still.

Now THAT makes sense. You always come to my rescue, MC. I promise I'm not this clueless IRL. Ok, maybe I am.

do you become a member with a bid and everything, or do just get a t-shirt?

Guard Girl, I wish you the very best of luck. It sounds like you are busy, busy, busy, but you also sound very motivated and I hope you find the right home.

You should find out when chapters on campus are having their mandatory events (things like meetings, etc.).

On my campus, all the chapters had their meetings on Sundays - at different times of the day. If it conflicts, I would recommend waiting until you have more time (certainly I would not condone dropping your dancing if you enjoy it and have fun, but that would probably be the activity that has the most conflict).

As some of the other girls said, I think the most important thing to consider is whether you really have the time to decicate to sorority life. Most places I've heard of have chapter on Sunday, and if you're away all weekend, how are you going to get to chapter ever? Even if you're at a school where they won't discipline you for missing events, is that really sisterhood? I think you need to seriously consider what it is you want: the sisterhood or the letters. If you decide to go through, make sure you can commit yourself to it fully.
