We focus on the "5 B's" of recruitment (boys, booze, bucks, bible, Barack), share our opinions on why each of these "b's" are considered recruitment "no-no's," and share whether or not we think these topics should actually be "off limits" during recruitment. Enjoy!

Recruitment Mini-Series 1: Is the Only Form of Truly Inclusive Recruitment Random Selection?
Rushing Progress: Conversations for the Modern Sorority Woman
Sorority recruitment is often a space of exclusivity. Although many changes have and will continue to be made to make recruitment a more inclusive process, can sorority recruitment as we know it ever truly be inclusive? Today we talk about the pros and cons of a hypothetical "random selection" recruitment system, where potential new members are all randomly placed in chapters. Although a 'random selection' recruitment would never happen, it certainly makes for an interesting discussion!

1. Can You Be a Feminist and a Member of a Sorority?
Rushing Progress: Conversations for the Modern Sorority Woman
Welcome to our first podcast, where we take on the question that is so often debated online - can you consider yourself a feminist AND a sorority woman? We share our thoughts on what it means to consider ourselves as a feminist and how to balance the anti-feminist aspects of sorority life with our own beliefs.
info_outlineIn today's mini-series episode we share our thoughts on whether or not it's "worth it" to go through recruitment during a pandemic. With most campuses either partially or fully remote for fall 2020, organizations like sororities that are traditionally based in social interaction and in-person bonding face a serious issue. With a large portion of normal sorority operations from ceremonies, to live-in member capacity, to Bid Day, sisterhood events, and recruitment itself moved to online-only forums, how sorority women interact with each other has drastically shifted due to the pandemic. How does that impact potential new members? Is it still worth it to go through recruitment when so many of your new member activities will be strictly over Zoom? Should you just wait to go through recruitment in spring 2020, or wait for a form of informal recruitment like COB? (Don't worry, we'll define what COB means in the episode, too!) Join us as we tackle all of these questions and give our advice for fall 2020 potential new members!
