since I JUST found this out... Eta Tau's recruitment week is this week (!!) and the schedule is:
Tuesday: tea & fortunes
Wednesday: family game night
Thursday: Primping and Preparing

We're going into this with 17, and we're all hoping to get up over 20!

YYYYIIIIIPPPPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D

GO ETA BETA!

This is really interesting- I've never seen recruitment rounds named this before. Is it formal recruitment? What do you do on these days? Fortunes???? Games???? My curiosity is running wild.

Congratulations Eta Beta on making quota! :)

Not to be a *downer*, but please keep the Eta Psi women in your thoughts....formal recruitment ended last Sunday, and they didn't receive any Alphas (long story here, if you want details, please PM me)....I know they're rallying themselves up for COR, but it was a pretty tough blow to them after going through a wonderful recruitment week.

not an Alpha Delta Pi but I believe Furman University has it's Bid Day, today (January 18th)

Hey, thanks for the info...I'll add them to the list, and if you hear anything about how the chapter does, could you please let us know? Thanks!

Best of luck to Eta Tau!!!!!

it's informal recruitment! our formal one is in the fall, but we still have a recruitment week in the spring, just full of COR events.
as for these... the first day, we'll have all kinds of tea, one of the girls will be reading tarot cards and stuff like that. the second night, we'll have lots of board games and split up into groups so we can get to know the girls better individually. the last night is a spa night!

thank you!

Amazing 1st time on "the other side"!
 

This week has been my first time "on the other side" of Recruitment, and also our 25th Anniversary year to boot, so this amazing week has been an excellent way to celebrate both. Our chapter is competing with Theta and Chi-O, the top houses on campus, for girls-which is usually not the case! Our 2nd round return rate was 75%, 3rd round was 81%, and Pref return rate was 63%(around 60's). We had 170 girls coming through for Pref, and Panhel quota is somewhere around 50!! Our chapter is really getting the results it deserves this year-we'd be happy not to have to COB or snap bid for the first time in awhile! Only three more hours until we get the bid day list-I'm so excited!!!!!

oh yay!!!!!! Please keep us updated vandy_violet!!!

Omigosh!! Recruitment results from TWO schools on the same date!! Be still, my heart!!


Thank you, PhiMuLady, for letting us know about Furman! I hope we get the results!!

Deserving of its own post!
 

I think we should rally around Eta Psi, and try to let them feel the Sisterhood!! Polarpi, is there an address (email or snail mail) where we can send messages of encouragement to them? I can remember one abyssmal rush, and the ladies of Montevallo somehow heard about it, and really encouraged us - reminding us that our sisterhood is the BEST, no matter how the rush went! I would certainly love the chance to return the favor!

Re: Deserving of its own post!
 

Sure! I just PMed you back with the info, and I'll put it here:

Alpha Delta Pi
130 Scheele Hall
Valparaiso, IN 46383

I remember how last semester there were a few of us who sent notes of encouragement to Brianna's chapter, and I remember from the note I received back from them that they were very appreciative and loved the notes of encouragement, and I'm sure the Eta Psi girls will feel the same way!

Bid Day was today for Omicron.

We made quota (we always do) with 36 fabulous new Alphas!!

We had a fantastic recruitment here at Duke, with 86% return rate for pref night alone.

I am so excited with our new Alpha class. They are absolutely wonderful young women and I can truly honestly say that we are the "Finest!"

Zeta Rho made above Panhel quota with the largest pledge class on campus-48 Alphas!!! We are so excited! We were so successful this year that let's just say there will be many twin diamond sisters for my pledge class (and I definitely wrote "I WANT TWINS" on the top of my diamond sis matching survey).
