A quarter of the undergraduate population at Eastern belongs to a fraternity or sorority, but the two groups have a very different way of recruiting members, said Bob Dudolski, director of greek life.

Recruitment is simpler with men than women, Dudolski said. Men’s rush is informal at smaller schools, although for larger schools, the men’s process is more structured.

For women, rush is a structured event system with several rounds, Dudolski said. It is a narrowing process.

The national structure of the sorority recruitment process is established by the Panhellenic Conference, which dictates recruitment for national sororities, he said. The fraternity recruitment process is structured differently and established by the North American Interfraternity Conference.

On the last night of rush, “Preference Night,” the prospective members select and rank their top three choices and the sororities rank the women to their preference, Dudolski said. The selection process is done by scan tron.

Rush began Thursday and Friday and the women viewed all eight houses, Dudolski said. Saturday, the women selected only five houses, which they visited and participated in the organizations philanthropy, community service project. Sunday was “Preference Night” and the women visited their final three choices.
