Pledging (Post 9)

Sororities and Fraternities are already on the prowl for recruiting. In fact, it's always recruiting season because recruiting never stops. Just by wearing your letters around campus, or putting a car decal on your car you're recruiting. When people that aren't in greek chapters see that, some become interested. That is why when you're wearing your "letters" you should always be putting forth the best representation of yourself. Rush for women is in the fall, and men usually check out fraternities in the Spring before their freshman year of college. Sorority recruitment is very stressful and intimidating of both sides. Ladies that are in the sorority are nervous to interview girls who are rushing and girls rushing are always nervous to meet so many new girls. If girls are themselves, it is easier for everyone to find something in common. Rush usually lasts a week just because there are so many sorority houses to see. Men who are looking to join a fraternity usually go to a couple fraternity parties so they can meet the men and see where they fit in. If they get asked back and liked that house as well they may get a big extended to them. Men can get as many bids from as many houses but in the end have to accept one bid and that is the fraternity house they will pledge too. I hope this helps everyone understand a little bit more about how the process of getting into a sorority for fraternity works.
