Yale 2013??

IrishPipes listing says that NPC recruitment at Yale in January, 2013, has been cancelled.

How come?

There was a thread or a post somewhere on GC about this, but am having trouble finding it.

Here is an article though:

I read the article and it just says that freshman can't be recruited during the fall anymore...they must wait until January/"spring". So, if something newer came out that cancelled January recruitment, it must have been after this article was published.

Am I missing something? Here are the last 2 paragraphs:

The new policy will not have an effect on sororities, which currently hold rush in the spring. According to the YDN article, sorority leaders are in favor of spring rush because it allows freshmen to socialize outside of sororities and familiarize themselves with the Greek system before making the decision to rush or not.


Some Yale sororities do hold recruitment sessions during the fall, although most female students who rush in the fall are sophomores, who are exempt from the ban.

Yale Cancels Fall Beginning-of-School-Year Fraternity & Sorority Recruitment

irishpipes (and others) FYI:

Yale has reached a settlement agreement with a federal agency concerning sexual harrassment allegations. The impetus for the case came some time ago – remember the DKE chant scandal?

See article:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...3501-M5OBG.DTL

excerpt from ^^:

“The university won't hold a fraternity and sorority rush at the beginning of the coming school year. The rush is when campus student groups traditionally recruit new members, and it's been canceled because the practice has been associated with sexual harassment, Ali said.”

ETA: Additional coverage:

http://chronicle.com/article/Educati...s-Yale/132335/

************************************************** ***********************************************

The links are dead, but it appears the January recruitment dates may still be valid. I don't really know.
