Spring Rush ????

How is virtual recruitment any less “fair” than in person? All of the same things that would normally be talked about are talked about. My guess is they don’t want to move it because their yearly budget is based on the assumption that they’ll have 4 PCs paying dues, but if during fall there’s only 3, they would lose a LOT of money and have to charge all of the actives a lot more to make up for it, which isn’t really fair to any of us. Also, one of the benefits of joining a sorority as a freshman is it’s a really great way to make tons of friends right away and get adjusted to campus. Try to have a positive attitude about it and embrace the process even if it looks different this year

Because $$$, chapters need a new PC to pay for their houses. Also, who said things would be better by spring. Stop being a whiny baby and play with the cards you’ve been dealt

Houses aren’t serving food except in to-go boxes, no pledge retreats, no run on Bid Day. You wouldn’t have wanted that for your rush and these girls should have a chance for the whole experience in the Spring.

Helloooooo ! Most actives and pnms PREFER the spring this year! If it’s no better, then nothing is lost. We don’t want to come back and sit in our dorm rooms to have rush in august. Get off of here mom/granny. The reality is that there are not going to be bonding activities this Fall and most people want to wait. Why in the world would you argue with that? Most people are very scared to come back to school period this Fall. It’s not about being ungrateful, it’s about being smart and rush is something that can and should wait.

Are you for real? The “vote” occurred when things looked better. None of my friends even want to go back and live in the house- they are locked in by Nationals. None want to go back for rush - things are getting worse and that should be the priority.

You lost your point trying to pose as an active while discussing the importance of the sorority as a business. There are about 6 actives per chapter who think like that. You are obviously not going to change your mind, so this is not worth arguing. Wait and see how many students don’t return, if classes meet in person, etc. You obviously have a vested interest in the chapters over the members.

Money money money that’s what it’s all about. That’s it. Nothing more nothing less. They don’t give a hoot the national organization and Bama administration will be sitting in their own houses social distancing while we either show up and live in or stay home and lose out on $$ either way. I’m a senior and was gonna drop after recruitment anyway but I feel for my fam and the younger members and the PNMs.

Also, to the know-it-all earlier, rush is mandatory for actives and a HUGE fine if you choose not to participate. We don’t know anything about how things will be this semester, yet we are supposed to pay?
