informal rush

Invite list means that their rush is going to be exclusive, secretive, and not open to the public. The girls who are going to be invited already know what's going down.

Trust me, I know how this goes.

Randos asking on this website will not be on the invite list. It's going to be a curated list based on members' friends who are picked specifically for the chapter.

Sorry, that sounds kind of elitist, but it's true.

If you're a Rando on the website looking to join AGD, I'd suggest finding a connection to AGD and asking them to put you on the invite list. They're not just going to take a couple people so you don't have to be besties. It's about fit.

yeah but if the chapter cut you during formal recruitment...it's likely that they decided the fit isn't there. there are tons of girls at iu who don't go through formal recruitment and are ripe for the picking.

ASA and TPA also missed quota, but just by a few unlike the second year in a row catastrophe at DPE. Those are the only ones doing informal.

Like I said, ASA and TPA usually do informal in the fall. And especially because they only missed by a few, it may or may not happen. Plans change and informal takes $ and energy out of the chapter

DPE should be doing it this semester though. I think you're being quite unkind to them and it's uncalled for. We should try to lift each other up.

Girl, you can try to spin it any way you want, but we all know that quota was set at a minimum of 55 this year.

ASA and TPA both took 54.

Either you are not an ASA or you are trying to do some weird sort of damage control because your chapter almost hit quota but not quite.

ASA announced that they got 52 new members...which is great. So I'm not sure why you're blatantly lying about it.

Not one of the unhoused chapters made quota and I am going to take an unpopular stance. It's NOT THEIR fault. I blame you IU Panhellenic.

1. If IU followed the recruitment procedures the rest of the country does, quota would be based on the actual number of women attending preference, not some arbitrary number. This means that if a ton of girls dropped because they didn't want unhoused chapters, then everyone's quota would be lower, but more equitable for all.

2. Panhel has got to do something about the recruitment schedule. It is too long and drawn out. There is no reason the parties the first and second rounds need to be as long as they were. Make the parties shorter. Thirty minutes first round and forty minutes second round. Third round should be 45 minutes and then would only take one day to finish. The process is so drawn out, no wonder girls drop. They are tired, hungry, sick and just plain over it. Exhaustion causes people to have trouble thinking clearly.

3. Education the Rho Gams better. Girls got such unreliable and varied information that who knew exactly what was going on.

4. Select a recruitment director who actually has a clue. Better yet, pick a junior to be the assistant director, have her learn one year and then be the director the next year all while training the assistant.

If girls, parents, chapter members want to point fingers--point it straight at Panhel.

DPE is a mix but there are many sweet girls and diversity isn't a bad thing. I truly wish people would give them a chance and support them to grow on this campus. Having them here isn't threatening anyone so I don't understand why people continue to pick on them for a perceived 'low status' I'd rather see girls find their home and be proud of their chapter then drop and miss out on Greek life completely. Same goes for any bottom tier house.
Also, not in DPE but just stating my opinion. I'd rather not see a chapter fail cause panhel love

Zeta and kappa did snaps. There were housed houses that did to deep of cuts after sisterhood round and it left them with not making quota till snaps were done. Panhel is getting this closer to being right, but allot girls missed out on zeta and kappa cause they chose other houses (not knowing these houses would have to do snaps)

"Not one of the unhoused chapters made quota and I am going to take an unpopular stance. It's NOT THEIR fault. I blame you IU Panhellenic. "

This is so true. Another thing Panhellenic could do is randomize pairs for Homecoming and Little 5. It's done a big schools are the time. Missou does it and if the chapters don't abide by the pairs, they don't get to participate in the event. A computer does the pairs based on previous pairs and that's it. No social aspect taken into consideration at all. So if Beta is paired with AGD and they don't want to socialize with them, then the bike team doesn't race. Simple as that. A few years of it and no one will know any different.

Sorry people can be so rude. Their loss, not yours! They are missing out.

Your chapter FB says you welcomed 52 new members.

I'm sure that the leadership would know precisely how many people accepted their bids. They would know best out of anyone, including regular members.

I'm not trying to put you down. I just don't like misinformation. No one pulled 52 out of their behind. That's legitimately what your chapter leadership said on FB. So either your chapter leadership doesn't have a clue or you're misinformed. I'm betting on the latter.

Either you are not an ASA or you are trying to do some weird sort of damage control because your chapter almost hit quota but not quite.
