Category:Rush Chair

Each chapter must regularly appoint a recruitment committee, headed by a Recruitment Chair who is responsible for all recruitment activities of the chapter from initial contact until each prospect is pledged or dropped.

The committee should be the ramrod of the recruitment operations but it should insist upon the full participation of all members and pledges in functions. It should begin its work in the summer and continue throughout the year if necessary. Periods of concentrated rush should be carried out at the beginning of each term. The committee should follow up immediately after a potential candidate has been a guest. The rushee should not be allowed to "cool off" for a while if the chapter is interested in him/her.

Each one should be considered and should be: 1) invited back; 2) asked to pledge; 3) deferred until a later date; or 4) dropped from the list as unacceptable.
