Lynchburg Greek Life kicks off recruitment week
Alyssa Wilson ~ Editor-in-Chief
To many students, Greek life is an important aspect of the college experience, including at the University of Lynchburg where recruitment activities started on Monday, Jan. 30.
Social and business fraternities started their Rush week, or recruitment process this week, however the sororities on Lynchburg’s campus wrapped up their recruitment on Jan. 20 and are now in the process of something they call COBs, or continuous open bidding.
Panhellenic President and member of Kappa Delta, Madison Bakalov says, “Sororities have a certain chapter total that they have to be at. So as of right now we are trying to change the total to the highest chapter amount plus ten.”
