Tri Delta and Pi Phi aren't doing it, from what I heard from friends in those chapters. I think KD might also not be, but I'm pretty sure ADPi, AXO and Theta will be

Informal is great. It's less stressful, and easy if you know which chapter you fit into

KD is definitely doing it too! Informal is not any harder than formal. You will still end up in a chapter with girls whose personalities and beliefs resonate the best with you. Best of luck!

yay poi - so glad it worked out for you! spring recruitment can be tough because the chapters take very few girls and generally a dozen or more will turn out per chapter. but like poi said, don't get frustrated if you don't get a bid in the spring - a bunch of girls in my chapter got bids after going out for both spring and fall! you'll find your home here at uvm!

So true! We had a pledge class of single digit women in the spring, and the fun is taken out of it. Big/little is less exciting, and you know fewer people in the chapter. Unless you have friends in it before wait Til formal recruitment

It depends: do you want to get involved on campus right away or do you want to wait and focus on academics for a semester? That's a choice you will have to make for yourself. It's true that at formal recruitment you get a sense for all of the organizations, but informal is way more low key and down to earth. Everything during formal recruitment seems fake and it's hard to meet people and make a snap decision in one weekend. At informal you really get a sense for who the women truly are. If your personality is more reserved and calm: go through informal. If you personality is more energetic and extrovert: go through formal.

I'd do spring then if you are unsure you could wait for fall and do formal so you have all the options

there are no top 3 chapters

They are all pretty decent. This board will make you think one is better than other. All have highs and lows but each one brings something different to the table. You just have to figure out which group best suits you but in the end you will be friends with a lot of girls from different sororities. Don't sweat it so much. Just go with the flow.

Tri delt and Pi phi 100% aren't, they had good retention rates from fall but AXO I think is but I'm not sure if they're publicizing it. I'd email their recruitment chair

Buttttttt if you're thinking "I only want one of the more popular" sororities, I would reconsiders because that is pretty shallow and so not UVM Greek life

No one likes Tri delta or Pi phi anyways

Don't listen to anyone saying no one likes this or that. They are just being petty and high school. Everyone has friends in every sorority. Find wag at fits you. No one is better or stronger than the other. Only academically.
