<strong>Subject:</strong><br />the truth about fraternity recruitment <br /><br /> Poster Message:
Someone posted yesterday about how competitive fraternity recruitment will be this year and claimed 230 people rushed last year compared to 430 this year. The real facts are that 357 total signed up last year, and 259 showed up. After round one of cuts it was down to 229 and 204 of this accepted a bid. Look at the factors of this year and last. There was little pressure to summer sign someone unless they were a big catch due to the housing policy. Less summer signs=bigger formal....With this factored in I would say each statistic would go up with a higher demand. Lets say 100 drop again before recruitment=330 90% in contrast to 88% receive an invite back=297 80% receive bids in contrast to 79% last year (low balling)=264 That means 264 of the original 330 would be receiving a bid.... It was also mentioned that higher numbers means higher quality which is somewhat true, except that the demand is higher and quality is rare nowadays and this in reality means more goobers.
