Cogratulations! Would you care to share your story? Even if it's brief, I like to hear COB stories (I came through via COB).

Hey, bare with me because I am super curious about recruitment here...do you guys move into the house immediately after recruitment? Or wait until sophomore year?

If you wait until sophomore year, does that mean that pretty much all the houses do informal to some degree (if a member drops out during pledge period, or even post-initiation)?

[IUHoosiergirl88]

No, we don't move in the house immediately after or anything...a sophomore brought in through COB would move in during the fall of their junior year...freshman would move in during the fall of their sophomore year like any other freshman new member. We do deferred recruitment here, we don't get bids until the beginning January...which sucks. Haha.

Not all the houses do informal, it really depends on what their individual quota is, what they want to take in for a PC, how many girls they got bid matched, and if they have girls drop. Some of the top houses here do snap bid a few girls in if they wanted them and found out they didn't get them, or those girls have a bunch of friends in the house. Typically ADPi does informal almost year round, unfortunately (or fortunately for me :] ) but they took a bigger PC this spring than normal...~25 girls, whereas some houses took 40-50+ girls. Sometimes a few other houses will do it, but like I said, it depends on a lot of things. IU can be a little complicated, haha

I totally would, but at this point, I'd still like to keep my identity under wraps..and with like 10 girls going through informal at ADPi...it wouldn't be hard to figure out who I was, haha. I'll tell it after initiation :]

What happened last year will likely have no bearing whatsoever on what happens this year.

Kirkwood...if you haven't contacted Panhel, you need to do so on Monday. There is a chance that informal could already be over or a chance it hasn't started. IU Panhel isn't the most communicative at times. Get your name to them so they can get it to chapters who might have openings. For some reason, chapters keep it so hush hush if they didn't make quota (especially the higher profile chapters) that it makes it hard to know what exactly is going on. Good luck.

There is also a rumor that they will be adding one or two chapters in the near future. There is data to support expansion.

Oh IndianaSigKap, you can't go around saying "there's a rumor" without feeding us more than that! What have you heard? We all know there's data to support expansion. And we also know there's no housing. Has there been an actual change of status somewhere, somehow? Is your rumor new?
