Spring 16

Poster Message:
Informal/spring: same thing. On our campus, fall is formal recruitment. Spring/informal is still structured, but less so than fall. Less sororities participate, and most that do usually have about 10-15 spots to fill COB: technically, I'm pretty sure that a house can cob anytime (continuous opening bidding would imply that it is, in fact, continuous). As far as I know, though, houses at Wisconsin only do it in the spring---probably because it makes the most sense logistically. Anyway, basically if a house is "just cob'ing", they only have less than 10 spots to fill (usually less than 5 spots). And, usually they try to fill these spots with people they know, recommendations of influential members/alumni, etc. The COB parties are by invitation only---so random girls that don't know anyone in the house can't just show up. They may be recruiting members during the same time as informal recruitment, but they technically aren't part of it. Confusing, right? I think so, too.
