Recruitment Mini-Series 1: Is the Only Form of Truly Inclusive Recruitment Random Selection?


Listen Later

It’s finally here...our first Recruitment Mini-Series episode! Before we dive into the common questions that apply to recruitment, we wanted to start our mini-series with a hypothetical; what if recruitment as we know it was completely reimagined? It is incredibly important to us, and to many sorority women, to prioritize creating as inclusive of a recruitment as possible. We know there are important changes and discussions to be had about making our current recruitment system as inclusive as possible in an effort to promote progress and change in our community. However, we have to ask ourselves if it’s even possible to have enough change in our current system to make it a truly inclusive process. For this discussion, we tried to think outside of the box - instead of just thinking about working within our current system, what if recruitment as we knew it was completely eliminated? Join us for our first mini-series where we think of recruitment as a completely random selection process; in this system, everyone who signs up for recruitment receives a bid to a house, but every bid is randomly assigned. Does this system make recruitment truly inclusive because the system of ranking chapters and selecting women is eliminated? Or does random selection come with its own issues that would have to be overcome? Is the only form of truly inclusive recruitment a recruitment that looks nothing like what we know? Tune in to hear our thoughts!
