^ The above schedule is correct but it's 24 rounds, not 23. So all PNMs will have 3 breaks somewhere in their 21 party schedule.
21 party will function as 14 party with skits, 12 party will function as 8 party with the slideshows, and 3 party will remain the same. And don't worry, all PNMs will be receiving a book for notes and such just as they have in years past. |
Clemonsgirl, a vast majority of IU PNMs do not get recs. IU did away with pre-recruitment activities this year and the recs were the gateway to getting those pre-recruitment invites. I briefly spoke with an advisor at a chapter who said they got around 100 and most of those were legacy forms or from relatives (niece, cousin, granddaughter) who weren't officially legacies in their GLO.

This will be a VERY interesting recruitment season at IU |

The elimination of pre recruitment activities would seem to make recs less important. I was able to secure several recs for my step daughter for last year's recruitment and the pre rush invites were VERY helpful to her. She was only a legacy at my house (which is not at IU) so no Greek connections other than some high school friends in houses. She was a rush crush of an active she met at one and that was house she pledged and that active became her big sister. Sure, she might have gotten a bid anyway, but we now know from this active that my step daughter was always on their top list because they bonded at this pre-recruitment party. |

What a brutal schedule....but there is really nothing else they could do. |

With only three brief parties to meet PNMs, they're keeping the skits? I know the houses have put a lot of effort already into rehearsing etc., but sheesh.
|
Those cuts are deadly. My note to the girls going through - DO NOT TAKE THESE CUTS PERSONALLY. I know it sucks and it's hard to accept, but the chapters have to make massive cuts. Just because you might not have made the cuts at some of your favorite chapters doesn't mean they didn't like you; it just means they liked more girls than they had spaces for. Chin up, keep hydrated, this is no time for partying or anything else that isn't eat, sleep, rush, and be supportive of one another. Good luck!

Wow, I just can't even imagine having to pick only 3 chapters out of 12. That is a huge drop. It's almost a disservice to the girls and the chapters as neither really gets to know each other well enough. :/

But do I understand the parties are longer? So they can mix convo and skit in 1 party. I definitely feel for them. If it was back in my day, I'd be sending those girls a couple bottles of something to pass around after the parties! But laws, jail, blah blah blah. I guess I won't ;)

Bahahaha you crack me up
|
According to campus sources 1616 women checked in tonight AND Very Bradley Company provided the small quilted ID/holder change purse wallets for all of the PNMs. There is a correlation between IU's Kappa Delta chapter and someone big at Vera Bradley. KDs help me out here.

Patricia Polito Miller, one of the two founders of Vera Bradley, is an initiate of the KD chapter at Indiana.

Yep, just heard from step daughter, she is in the skit for her house. She said there are 24 rounds with 3 breaks....I can't tell if that lines up with the schedule that you posted. Yikes, it just sounds brutal for all involved. |
Just answered my own question, the schedule posted has 24 rounds with three breaks. Its too late and I am not thinking clearly!
|
Are there any IU recruitment stories out there yet???

LOL, yes....epics, dramas, sagas! :) Which will be especially true with the party modifications because of weather. |
It seems I've been missing all the fun!
I was wondering how they were going to respond to the snowpocalypse we are having in Indiana and I can't believe all the changes this year! I was totally shocked when I found out they changed 21 Party (before the weather) - they tried to move it all 4 years that I was at IU. Excited to see how things pan out - I miss recruitment so much! |

I did a little quick math, if all 1616 girls attended preference (which we know they won't, but it would be nice if they did) and IU did quota/total not bed rush, quota would be 76 women. Those would be manageable new member classes. |

So do they get plain drinks or fancy drinks? Because if I was a party chair and came up with something clever for the drink, I would be super annoyed to only serve it to a fracture of the PNMs. |
"clever" and "drinks" sounds a little suspect and reminds me of going through rush myself when a chapter served virgin strawberry daiquiris with long wooden skewers of frozen fruit. But they didn't plan for what to do with the drippy daggers of fruit once out of the glass, and you couldn't drink with the skewer in the glass. It was hysterical.

Usually, drink rounds increased in 'fanciness'--21 party at all houses was water and soda/diet soda, 12 party was usually something a little fancier (like blue punch or whatever for adpi), 8 party was something even fancier (hot chocolate with a chocolate spoon with peppermint), and 3 party was sparkling cider.
You can carry water or something in your bag, usually if you have more than a 1 round break between parties you go back to whatever meeting place your rho gamma assigns (union, library, etc.) to hang out. It's not the hunger games :) ETA: well it is the hunger games, but not because of drinks! |

IU - Campus sources inaccurate re: Vera Bradley
Quote:
Unfortunately the campus sources who advised that IU PNM's were given Vera Bradley items (at check-in Thursday evening or any time since then) were incorrect! Checked with my daughter who is a PNM and no such luck! |
