They are definitely at the same time. If she wants to join a sorority, it’s probably best that she does recruitment. She could go through recruitment next year, but there’s a much better chance of getting a bid as a freshman from what I understand. I know there are situations where some sororities might still be able to give out bids after recruitment, and there is at least one sorority that doesn’t do formal recruitment at the same time as the others, but my daughter never wanted to join a sorority so I’m really not all that familiar with the whole process. The benefit of the Honors Action programs is that it gives kids an opportunity to meet other students and acclimate to campus before everyone arrives and classes begin. A girl who is going through recruitment is going to meet other girls and acclimate to campus. It’s different from the Honors Action programs, but it serves much of the same purpose. I know of one girl who did both (several years ago), so there may be others who do that, but it was exhausting for her and she missed some of the events and probably cost herself some invitations back to some of the sororities. I would pick one or the other, and if joining a sorority is a priority, choose recruitment.
