Fall Recruitment was extremely stressful for my daughter. She was a double legacy and was dropped by that house on Day 1. Legacy means nothing anymore - in fact, it seems it might even work against them as other houses will drop the girls who they think will pledge their legacy. My daughter dropped a couple of days later. Spring Recruitment is not structured and drags out for weeks. Girls are invited for coffee or yogurt and then might not hear back for over a week. Few sororities are participating and they each have very limited slots (but no one knows how many). Some apparently won't even consider girls who went through Fall Recruitment (AXO). Bids are handed out at random times so the girls have to make a decision on the spot before knowing if another sorority is considering them. It is all extremely stressful - especially since they are juggling classes, exams, and homework at the same time. I would encourage girls to go through Fall Recruitment but to be prepared and to know that 20% of the girls last Fall did not pledge as they were dropped (or dropped out themselves) during the process.
