[quote=Anonymous]If a big school with a lot of sororities, formal recruitment is a series of very long days, especially the first day when they have to visit ALL the houses. At an average state university that isn’t too Greek, that’s still half an hour or so spent at maybe 10 houses. Plus time walking between them. And in the early fall semester when it’s still really hot outside. And that’s at an “average” school - a really large state university like Ohio State, Penn State, etc. will have more just by virtue of having a bigger student body, and universities in the south will also have more as Greek is bigger there.

It can be very tiring and draining but also a good way to meet people. I did formal recruitment at my college and got my bid at the end, but my/my family’s financial situation wasn’t great and I didn’t think I could afford the dues. At least when I went through it, my college had a rule that if you fully participated in formal recruitment - going to every event, on time every day, no “suiciding” (when you only rank one house), basically everything the recruitment counselor tells you to do - you were guaranteed a bid unless your GPA was in the toilet or you had, like, a criminal record or something else really serious.
