To withdraw from Formal recruitment once recruitment week has begun you must first contact your recruitment Counselor. She will have you sign a withdrawal form and contact your parents before allowing you to leave campus. Absolute silence will begin the first day of recruitment and will extend until bids have been given out. During this period, there shall be no contact, written or oral, between sorority women and recruits except during recruitment stages. This also includes contact between sorority alumnae and recruits Letters, packages, phone calls, telegrams, and flowers from anyone not participating in recruitment are not to be sent to recruits during Formal recruitment week.
Recruits can mail letters during recruitment week.
The purpose of silence is to protect you from outside influences during recruitment. This will allow you the opportunity to give thoughtful consideration to choosing a sorority. Formal recruitment bidding shall be done by the preferential system. After the last stage of recruitment, all recruits shall assemble in a scheduled place to sign preference cards. At this time, you will have no communication with other recruits and will indicate your first and second choice.
