While ads for recruitment were posted on Facebook, sorority recruitment counselors and Panhellenic Association officers were required by Panhellenic Association to remove any indication of sorority affiliation on their profiles.
In addition, members of all sororities were required to edit their Facebook profiles as viewable only to current friends, until recruitment ended last Tuesday. This measure was taken on the social networking Web site in order to provide more objectivity in a PNM's decision-making process.
"I strongly believe that disaffiliation of (recruitment counselors) and Panhellenic executive board members helped PNMs through their recruitment experience," Black said.
Reasons for pledging vary among freshmen and sophomore women.
"I wanted to join a sorority because it makes it easier to get involved in service opportunities, and even if I don't pledge, I've already met a lot of new people," freshman Megan Wexler said.
Some PNMs were not as satisfied with the recruitment process and felt it was too time consuming.
"I went to recruitment because I thought it would be cool, but I dropped out because I realized it's a very big time commitment," said freshman Danielle Mayer.
Though sorority recruitment has ended for 2006, GW will be welcoming a new chapter, Pi Beta Phi, to campus. According to Black, Pi Beta Phi's colonization will start Oct. 3 as they begin recruiting for founding members. Fraternity recruitment with the Inter-Fraternity Council begins Monday.
