Recruitment

Sorry, I have to clarify. I heard that this is a website that PNMs sometimes check before going to the University of Kansas and after looking through the site, that saddens me concerning some of the things that are being said. However, I did want to clear some things up. Each year, it seems, more and more girls drop out of recruitment during the week. This is because at the University of Kansas, there is a quota for each pledge class. No pledge class can have more than this quota, but every sorority is GUARANTEED a pledge class. Because there is a large range of how desired each house is during recruitment, this causes a trickle-down effect. Say a PNM preferences a chapter to visit the third day of recruitment, but if the chapter has had high return rates the previous year, they are not allowed to invite as many PNMs.The PNM will be trickled down to a chapter that gets to invite more girls back because they (unfortunately) have a low percentage of PNMs that preferenced wanting to go back. The PNM will become upset because she did not get to go to the chapter she wanted to and drop recruitment. Many PNMs drop for this reason and it causes the pledge class quotas to become smaller. Other schools base pledge class quota on return rate, and while this is a good idea, there are too many chapters and not enough girls going through recruitment to do this. Because of the drop-out rate, experts have come in to redesign our recruitment process.
