USC restricts freshmen from recruitment
|
Just a clarification on the thread title -- the new policy bars first semester freshmen and transfers from recruitment. From the article and letter from the VP of Student Affairs, it sounds like they may move to deferred second semester recruitment, as the new minimum is 12 earned credits at USC and a 2.5 USC GPA.
As a parent of two GLO members who recently went through recruitment -- one in January and one in September -- both of them think that deferred recruitment is preferable because they like the idea of having a semester to acclimate before adding weekly meetings and all the other "doings" to a student's schedule. |
I couldn't get the link to work. I hate my computer. Maybe this one will help, if others have a problem.

We are scheduled to recolonize our Pi charter here next fall. Hopefully, this new mandate doesn't have a huge impact obtaining colony members.

USC is very much an obviously tiered system with a lot of the tent talk.
I always wonder if deferring is best at a system like that. |
I assume this wouldn't prevent transfers who joined GLOs at the schools they're transferring from from affiliating with their GLO's USC chapter?

I can't disagree with this. Or having an upper class rush in the fall and freshman rush in the spring. Like a semi-structured informal in the fall where you can only rush to total with upper classmen. I'm thinking Florida or Florida State has a big informal rush where every chapter participates in round 1 and then only chapters who need girls invite back.

It isn't, usually. But I feel like it's especially bad at Flagship State University where you have feeder high schools and towns (and alumni) perpetuating tiers. Maaaaybe USC will be okay, as they have students from across the country. But yeah, deferred recruitment always makes stereotypes and tent talk and tiers stickier. And I'm not sure that it really helps with membership retention at all, sadly. The one good thing is you have a term of college grades to look at. In my experience, that's really the only positive (and it is definitely a positive) of deferred recruitment. |
