alphaalpha may have found a win/win solution. A more formal structured recruitment in the fall and a more informal or loose structured recruitment - with quota - in the spring.

This way, the PNM may decide when she rushes as best suits her need. And just like formal recruitment, if a chapter is at total, they may still take quota during the loose structured recruitment (informal) in the spring. And if and when a chapter isn't at total, then the chapter can still COB when ever they want. And a bonus would be that this should open recruitment to more upperclassmen since the pressure to join as a freshman would no longer be an issue.

And as an added bonus, with the whole NPC recruitment thing moving toward "No Frills" it shouldn't be much of an issue cost or time wise.

Now, with recruitment being year round so to speak, hopefully this would elevitate some of the negative aspects of recruitment such as the "rush in the fall or not at all" pressure, "dirty rushing", and the silly "no contact" rule since these issues should be moot. The PNMs are not only allowed, but encouraged to meet sorority members in the way that is right and comfortable for them. Be that in the fall or spring. During a formal or informal way. As a first year or returning student.
