“At the end of the day, joining a business fraternity or any club on campus is for the people you meet and the relationships you form,” said Hyland. “My friends at PCT are some of my closest friends here at Cornell.”
Due to a winter storm that struck the greater Tompkins area Saturday night, Cornell University’s Panhellenic Council and Interfraternity Council had to make changes to their recruitment timelines, including pushing recruitment timelines back a week.
Several previous and current faculty members of the hotel school said that the administration is often too focused on gender diversity to realize the importance or put the effort into achieving racial diversity.
If you haven’t noticed yet, some companies have already fired up their recruiting engines for next summer’s internships. Along the way, students, especially current sophomores, have scrambled to attend recruiting events, network and hopefully be asked to interview for a coveted position for next summer. Interviewing for an internship can be incredibly stressful for students, especially when they have to balance it with schoolwork, extracurriculars and a social life. For instance, one of my friends dropped a class because it was interfering with her networking session, and as a fellow business student, I was sympathetic. A lot of business students feel pressured to prioritize to put interviews which seems incredibly backwards.
I’m all about being graceful in defeat. You could say I’m very sympathetic to the whims of the universe, or maybe I’ve just gotten a lot of practice, but regardless, reacting to disappointment with poise is an admirable skill. Now, the ice-cream-binging, pity-party-throwing, Netflix-junkie version of myself is rolling her eyes, but she ought to be a tad more sympathetic towards her denials… they really are sad to see you go! Or are they? “Join The Family!” the recruitment materials read, ever-eager to assert that the power to steer your future lies within you.

The Ivy League has decided to not take any action against Harvard after concluding its investigation into potential improper recruiting activity by the Harvard men’s basketball program.
The allegations of recruiting violations by head coach Tommy Amaker and assistant coach Kenneth Blakeney were raised in a March 2008 New York Times article. It alleged that members of Amaker’s staff had made illegal contact with several recruits during the spring and summer of 2007. However, after an examination of records and interviews with relevant coaches and potential student-athletes, the Ivy League concluded that Harvard was not in violation of either NCAA or Ivy League rule.
