How long is the recruitment rush period each semester?

• A. One to two weeks
• B. One week
• C. Two weeks
• D. Four weeks

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is having a brief, clearly defined window for recruitment that stays coordinated with the semester. The one-to-two-week window is the best choice because it gives chapters enough time to plan and run events, meet potential members, and make decisions without dragging the process out across the whole term. A one-week window can be too rushed to organize multiple events or give interested students a real chance to engage. A fixed two-week window, while adequate in some cases, lacks the flexibility to adapt to different campus schedules or varying semester rhythms. Extending to four weeks would prolong recruitment unnecessarily and can disrupt academic pacing. So, one to two weeks strikes a practical balance, offering a concise but flexible period for effective recruitment.
