Probation

Associate/Probation

If we have a big class there is a higher chance for ya’ll to pick up

Tips to higher your chances:

• Actively recruiting members during recruitment week and attending rush events
• The more effort you put into the process yourself, the more likely you will make an impact onto the pledges
• Actively communicating with panel and PM about what you should do
• Still considered lower in terms of pairings, but by putting in more effort your chances will increase
• Keep in mind: Doing these things does not guarantee you a little!

Probation/Inactive/Alumni on Interview Sheet

• Will not be placed in priority list depending on the number of actives
• IF we add you to the interview list, please don’t cause any problems
• Seriously tho, ya’ll are adults now.
