C<strong>on</strong>tinued Revisi<strong>on</strong>s<br />

Revised inducti<strong>on</strong> process<br />

unites new and old ideas<br />

September 3rd through October 4th marked recepti<strong>on</strong> rounds<br />

<strong>on</strong>e through three. The first round went as in the past, with every<br />

club hosting a single, two-hour recepti<strong>on</strong>; prospective members<br />

were encouraged to attend as many as possible.<br />

The sec<strong>on</strong>d round was a new experience for all involved this<br />

year, as no recepti<strong>on</strong>s were held. Instead, upperclass students<br />

visited the freshmen in their dorms during the week in order to<br />

have more <strong>on</strong>e-<strong>on</strong>-<strong>on</strong>e time to get to know each other. Jennifer<br />

Strickland, a member of ZetaBho, felt the upperclass visitati<strong>on</strong><br />

was positive. "This year's selecti<strong>on</strong> process was better organized,<br />

and visitati<strong>on</strong> went much faster than most people expected," she<br />

said.<br />

Invitati<strong>on</strong>s were sent out <strong>on</strong> September 23 regarding round<br />

three after clubs and prospective members had voted <strong>on</strong>ce.<br />

During the following two weeks, clubs and freshmen met again<br />

for <strong>on</strong>e-and-a-half-hour recepti<strong>on</strong>s which were <strong>on</strong>ce again n<strong>on</strong>c<strong>on</strong>flicting<br />

with other clubs and to which freshmen received<br />

invitati<strong>on</strong>s. Following this round, inductees voted a sec<strong>on</strong>d time,<br />

ranking all clubs in order of preference.<br />

"I have seen a lot more desire from both members and freshmen<br />

to be involved. This year, the process seems less of a task and<br />

more fun. There has been a good attitude am<strong>on</strong>g the freshmen in<br />

general," Chad McNatt, sophomore member of Delta Chi Delta,<br />

said.<br />
