I have a rec crew :) Two of Hypo's friends will be going through recruitment at Eastern Michigan University (my alma mater). Recruitment begins the 17th and bid day is 9/29. I don't know if I'll get enough detail from them to do a story. I might from one of them, but I don't know about the other. I'm still waiting to hear whether the third young lady is going through or not.

And two of her friends are going through at Michigan too! OMG!!!

I knew I talked up how great it was to be in a sorority, but I had no idea they were listening :)

UPDATE
 

Got a bunch of new results!

Texas A & M - 1 - Alpha Chi Omega. 1- Pi Beta Phi. 1 - Kappa Alpha Theta. 1 - Zeta Tau Alpha

Oklahoma - 1 - Alpha Phi. 1 - Pi Beta Phi.

Oklahoma State - 1 - Phi Mu

Alabama - 2 - Phi Mu

TX State - 1 - Zeta Tau Alpha. 1 - Chi Omega. 1- Alpha Delta Pi

TX Christian - 1 - Pi Beta Phi

U of Kansas - 1 - Delta Gamma

Boy howdy did the Katy girls love Pi Beta Phi this year!

My niece pledged Phi Sigma Sigma at northern Ky. yesterday. They had been her second choice through out the week but at pref she totally changed her mind and they became number one. She is so excited. She felt so comfortable with them. Last night I was looking on her facebook to see if she had posted any pictures of bid day. No pictures but I noticed so many posts from girls welcoming her to the sisterhood. I thought that was so sweet.

I was looking for the "Like" button for this. :p




I have one rec girl at Ole Miss. Looking forward to seeing where she ends up.

I went through recruitment this past week, and just accepted a bid tonight to my campus's local sorority! :)

One of the Houston Alumnae chapter member's daughters is going through recruitment at TX State - I will be doubly excited if she is pledged!

Heard from my rec girl at Missouri she went Theta..

More UGA updates:

Another one of my UGA girls went DG and I was too excited to remember to post it here.
One of my UGA girls went Sigma Delta Tau.

That's 9 different sororities on campus this year for my ladies! :)

cr2817 (she's on the first page list) posted in her recruitment story that she's a new member of Kappa Kappa Gamma!

Jillllllllllll . . . come update!

This might sound a little ignorant. But what exactly are recs? Who can give them out? Thanks :) no greeks in my family, first one rushing in the spring.

Lots of Love!

Rec is short for recommendation or reference form. Alumnae members of the individual sororities can complete them and submit them on your behalf to the chapter or reference chairwoman for their own sorority at your campus. Each sorority has its own official form that can only be completed and submitted by a member. Some sororities also allow collegiate members at other campuses to submit them. Collegians at your school cannot complete them, so do not ask any sorority members you meet this semester to complete a rec for you for their own chapter.

There are many "stickied" threads on this topic under the sorority recruitment forum, but you should start contacting women you know now so that you have time to find willing alumnae from each group. Recs may be expected at some campuses more than others, and they may be necessary for some sororities and not for others. They always help you stand out from the crowd and help the chapters learn more about you before recruitment starts.

Thanks so much girl!

My Ole Miss rec crew:
1 ChiO
1 AOII
1 Theta :D

They all look so happy in their bid day photos.

And....this should complete my fall recruitment madness.

I will tonight or tomorrow. I have a sheet of paper full of updates. I am working on doing a rec for someone :)
Beat me with a wet noodle :D
