Recruitment Information
What is Recruitment?
Recruitment is the selection process one
must go through in order to be a member of a cooperative house.
Where do
I go the day of Recruitment?
Students will meet in Matthews Hall, Room
210 the morning of recruitment. Matthews Hall is located on the corner of University St. and First St, next
to Beering Hall. There is a parking garage located one block north on the corner
of University St. and Second St. On-site registration will begin for those who have not pre-registered.
It is strongly recommended to pre-register to avoid long lines at registration.
Parents are welcome to attend Recruitment with their student or be placed in a separate
group if so desired. Tours of the houses will begin after registration is completed
and rushees are expected to tour all houses that day, spending approximately an
hour at each house. At the end of the day members of the houses will take the rushees
back to MTHW 210 or to their residence hall. To request registration materials (i.e.,
Rush Booklets): Contact the Office of the Dean of Students at (765) 494-1231 or
email: sao@purdue.edu
What does Recruitment Involve?
Women will tour the houses
and meet the active members of each house, spending approximately one hour at each
of the 7 houses. Dress for Formal Recruitment will be business wear. Meals will
be provided. Under extenuating circumstances, Recruitment arrangements can be made
with the Vice President of Recruitment. After Formal Rush, the rushee
will receive invitations in the mail inviting them back to the women’s houses for
Informal Recruitment. Women may only attend Informal Recruitment for the houses
that they receive invitations back to. Dress for Informal Recruitment will be business
casual. After Informal Recruitment, the rushee will rank the houses in order of
her preference. The houses will contact the rushees they selected to be members
within the week following Informal Recruitment. Rushees will only be contacted by
one house. At this time she can accept a bid to live in that cooperative house.
Who is eligible
to participate in Recruitment?
Students must be enrolled or considering enrollment for the fall semester
at Purdue University. There is 2.25 minimum GPA requirement to participate in Cooperative
Rush and at least a 2.25 Graduate Index or Semester GPA to be initiated. Most houses
have their own minimum GPA requirement, higher than what PCC requires. Students
must be able to reach the GPA specified by each individual house and classified
as a full time student by Purdue University.
