the truth about fraternity recruitment
by: real facts
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.

You have nothing to lose by rushing, being a "top kid in HS" is a joke. There are I believe 23-24 houses doing recruitment, you will find one that fits you

I had a friend who went through recruitment last year who said the there were some houses that would talk to him and not even introduce themseleves after he introduced himself to start a convo. They would just say oh okay and seemed completly uninterested before even talling any. One even blew him off and walked away.

Right thinking about numbers of bids going up, but wrong about percentage. The higher turnout will result in more bids, but the total percentage will be down to probably around 60-70
