Pacific’s Inter Fraternal Council (IFC) recently completed another successful formal spring recruitment. Due to dissatisfaction expressed regarding previous years’ recruitment programs, last year’s IFC Vice President of Recruitment, Eric Rowland, redesigned the program to ensure all houses had fair and equal opportunities to recruit new members.
53 people sign op for the week-long recruitment process, which took place at the end of January, and 36 of those recruits signed bids at the end of the week. 15 people signed bids from Pi Kappa Alpha, 13 from Sigma Chi, 5 from Theta Chi, and 3 from Delta Upsilon. Some of those who signed up were ineligible to receive bids at the end of the week because they missed one of the many mandatory events, such as open house tours. IFC kept a close eye on each of the houses during recruitment week, making sure no infractions occurred that would result in one house having an advantage over the others. Men who were non-members of the Greek houses were not allowed to visit the houses for the duration of the week. No women other than the house Dream Girl, caterers, and University personnel were to be present during any of the formal rush events. Formal recruitment was a dry week for all the houses, meaning alcohol was prohibited at all events including bid day. Although this semester’s recruitment program was successful on most accounts, IFC recognizes that there is always room for improvement. This semester’s IFC Vice President of Recruitment, Balijinder Gill, plans to have a new formal spring recruitment proposal finalized by the end of this semester. Gill will oversee next spring’s recruitment process.
