Question about rush

If you're deciding between uvm and another school based off Greek life 1. Get ur priorities straight and 2. Go the the other school. Greek life has gotten bigger in recent years but is still less than 11% of the population so if ur looking for a typical big Greek experience this is not the place

Not every sorority did COB, AXO and piphi didn’t as they are more “selective” I guess and the other 4 sororities did do COB. They limit the amount they can take each semester so it’s normal for a lot of them to do COB

Each sorority can only take around the same number of girls during formal recruitment, but because some of the chapters are smaller that means they still have room for more. For example if max is 100 girls per chapter and chapter A has 70 and chapter B has 40 and they both take the maximum 30 during formal, chapter B still has room for more so they will COB/spring rush.
This also explains why they had to close applications, because unless they made new rules allowing more than 100 per chapter it wouldn’t make sense to accept applications knowing a bunch of people wouldn’t get in.

It’s also about room capacities and numbers. Like if a certain amount of people signed up, not everyone would get into a sorority. Also they would have to find somewhere else to do recruitment since it’s in the davis center and they have room capacities
