In a matter of time, school will be back in session & with it all the anxieties, first-week jitters which are part & parcel of the college experience.

In the meantime, folks are formulating on what furniture, clothes, & other whatnot to bring along for their journey back to State U; back @ the frat house rooms are being tweaked up, painted...duders getting ready for the very first day back in town & what better way to be ready for Fall 2008 than to have their rooms all decked out in advance.

In the world of Fraternity Recruitment, this is no time to go to sleep. This is not time to sit back & twiddle one's thumbs until Rush Week arrives. This is serious business & thanks be to online networking sites like Facebook & Myspace, we've got the headstart on letting folks know about a perfect opportunity to go Greek, right?

True, we do have the running start - & not only that, we're giving the incoming freshmen (& other undergraduates who want to go Greek this fall) plenty of options to work with in terms of finding the right house to join. But at the same time, we shouldn't leave this issue well enough alone; we need to keep in touch with the prospectives while we're ahead so when Rush Week comes they're not left in the lurch on which houses they should check out. As anyone can see, Fraternity Recruitment is a yearlong process & at this time of year, our mindset should be no different.

At this time of year, getting the word out on our houses is pretty important & with that in mind, letting the prospectives know the whole truth & nothing but the whole truth about Sigs/SAE/Delts/&c. Are we ready?
