informal

wondering this too!

The sororities are screwed! They won't have the option of "just deciding" to do informal, or to take as many as they want in order to fill their houses. They will still have to abide by total, and only those who fall below total will be able to recruit in the fall. Moving formal recruitment from fall to winter was the most asinine, ill-conceived decision. Formal recruitment in a Michigan winter will create a hardship on chapters and PNMs. Moving formal recruitment to winter will also allow the time for even more tent talk during the fall semester which in turn can negatively impact weaker recruiting chapters. The housing situation in Ann Arbor is ridiculous and expensive. This decision is putting the livelihood of Michigan's Greek organizations and their members in a precarious position when sororities (and fraternities) are trying to fill houses and students are having to sign leases a year in advance to get housing. NPC does NOT recommend second semester recruitment, and Michigan's Panhellenic and IFC should be fighting this decision with their national organizations leading the charge.

The fall will be slightly structured. Every sorority will be taking new members. It isn't going to be like winter recruitment or formal but somewhere in between. Only sophomores/transfer students are eligible. More details will come from Panhel later this semester

It shouldn't be harder, every chapter will be trying to take new members

since it will only be sophomores, it will be similar to our previous winter rush, so I don't think the #s will be a problem. But, it will be challenging to fill the houses who will be primarily juniors living in the houses going forward. That's going to be a little crazy, right?
