deferred recruitment

[kiteflyerzl]

If your school had delayed (several weeks into the fall semester) or deferred recruitment (spring) or if this is true of the school where you advise, will you PM me please? I am the Recruitment Advisor at the College of Charleston and I have lots of questions as CofC moves towards deferred recruitment.

Thanks!

If you dont get many replies here, I would use the HQ website as another resource. In the Theta Directory section when you do searches for college chapters, they also have on there (or did last time I looked) if they do fall or deferred recruitment.


Centre College in Kentucky I know does that. I dont know others off the top of my head though.


Why is College of Charleston moving to deferred recruitment if you dont mind me asking?

It's not completely a done-deal yet but the thought right now is that we'll have delayed recruitment next fall (early November) and then deferred recruitment for the 2007/2008 school year. We have not seen the actual recommendations of the task force yet but what we've heard is that they want freshmen to have a semester to get focused on school and academics before joining a sorority. Believe me, I don't support the change and I worked with the other advisors on campus to compile a lits of our concerns. We're still hoping we can convince the school that this is a bad idea for our greek system.

Thanks for the suggestion. The district officers have given me a list of some schools with deferred recruitment that I can contact.

I interned at a school last year that does deferred recruitment (They used to have a Theta Chapter but no longer do)

I know a lot of people arent fond of the idea but it really worked well for them.

PM me and we can chat

I just sent you a message.
I've been rather busy lately but I'll be sure to keep an eye on my PM box. Let me know if I can be of some help.
