UF Spring Recruitment!!

[PC11]

If I found out some sororities that were COBing, I would email the recruitment chair asking about if they are still conducting COB and that i'm interested? Is that okay for me to do?

I wish I had seen this earlier! Life is crazy!

I am going to caution you that if you haven't already taken action to get in contact with any chapters that may be COB-ing, you may be too late. Most chapters have already stopped inviting women to their chapter to meet or have even had their Big-Little reveal (which usually means they are less likely to COB any women after that point)!

My best advice to you is email them, and now.
If no chapters are still in the process of COB, you can always participate in Spring Recruitment (which is generally rather informal and is done by COB policies, usually). Waiting until Spring, at this point, may actually be easier, because chapters who are just at or above total (thus, not COB-ing in the Fall) may have enough women who graduate in December to go below total. So, they may participate in Spring Recruitment even though they are not taking COBs this Fall. (I think I'm making sense, today is crazy!)
Hopefully that helps!

Horray! Spring Recruitment 2012 is just around the corner! The date's aren't set yet, but its going to be very different this year!!

Last year all houses had to table on the open information day in the Union, now only chapters that will be extending bids will be there. I'm quite happy that was changed - so many girls were upset that the house they fell in love with was not extending bids!
Also, the next day (hopefully, it may vary depending on the school calender) will be an open-house day for each chapter. Plus, PNMs will be required to visit each house.
So, it is still informal, but with a bit more structure than in previous years.

I am very excited that it is coming up - Spring Recruitment is my favorite!!

I can imagine. Glad they made that change.

that sounds like a much better format. good luck to the spring pnms and the chapters that have spots open!

Just a little edit point - it says meet the sorority women at their houses, but the event is at the Union in the Grand Ballroom.

So, in the information session are the houses going to have tables set up? Or will we only be talking to the chapters at their houses?
So excited!!!

The first night is at the Union and the second is at the houses. Looks like the best of both worlds.

Yeah, this is the first spring we're doing this (that I've seen).

So, to better explain the poor editing the maker had:
There will be in info/tabling session in the union and at another time PNMs will visit each house that is participating. If I am not mistaken, PNMs must visit all houses (that are participating) as they do in the fall.

Hope that helps!
If you have more questions, I will be bored after exams!!

I just thought I'd point it out because the interested girls might also be confused. The fact that it's 2 nights, and the 2nd night is at the chapter houses is fantastic, but that's not what it says.

A few of the moms I babysit for asked me if I wanted recs, is it a good idea to get those for spring rush?

I would get them, especially if they are from people who know you well (provided that they are alumnae of the chapters who are participating in spring recruitment.)

From reading earlier posts on this thread it seems we won't find out who is participating until we get there. Should I just send recs to the sororities I can get them for just in case they are participating?
