Yup, I'm going to be going through recruitment in just a few weeks...January 18th-26th. I'm not TOO nervous yet!!

Northwestern will also be having formal rush in january, sororities are:

Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Phi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi

Good Luck and there's nothing to be nervous about.....

All the houses you have to choose from are wonderful.

From what I have heard, rush at Duke is more relaxed.

I have a close friend from high school that just transferred to Appalachain State University and is rushing. Their rush is in late Janurary and they have: Phi Mu, Sigma Kappa, Kappa Delta, Chi Omega, Alpha Phi, Alpha Delta Pi, and Delta Zeta. I have another friend that is already a Sig Kap there.

Elon and Wake Forest Universities also hold winter rush.

My friend who is a Kappa Delta at East Carolina University told me they have informal rush coming up in February.

And of course Washington and Lee rush starts Monday (January 6th!!!!!)

I'm a Sigma Kappa at Appalachian State...who is your friend? And we do have rush starting January the 26th, and bid day is the 1st of Feb.

Lawrence University (Appleton, Wisconsin) begins formal rush/recruitment next week. The sororities begin with an informational meeting on Thursday, January 9th. First set is Sunday the 12th, second set is Monday the 13th, and Preference is Thursday the 16th, with Bid Night on Friday the 17th. The fraternities have stuff going on during the week, too, and their Bid Day is Saturday the 18th. All-Greek bowling party is that night! Our groups are:

DG
KAQ
KKG
SAI

BQP
DTD
SFE
FDQ
FKT
FMA

I'm thinking of going through informal spring recruitment at UW-Madison, so I'm looking forward to that. It's at the end of January, just one week this time, I think. I'm not sure what sororities are doing it, but my friend in Alpha Phi said her sorority is doing it. If anyone finds out what sororities are doing informal recruitment at UW, let me know! :)

Baldwin-Wallace College
 

Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio has women's and men's rush in the spring since 2000, I believe. Spring rush was originally planned for a four year trial period, but there hasn't been any word on if the Greek Life Staff is planning on switch back to fall or not. The sorority members (Phi Mu, Alpha Phi, Alpha Gamma Delta, Delta Zeta, Zeta Tau Alpha) like Spring Rush overall, but the frats are definitely missing Fall Recruitment(Pi Lambda Phi, Phi Kappa Tau, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Lambda Chi Alpha). It's my first year on this side of rush so I am excited to see how everything goes down!

breathesgelatin- you are right, elon holds spring rush the last week of january.....do you know anyone there??? i graduated there in 2000.

I believe Gamma Phi Beta is, I'm not sure, but I will check - and I just saw all the houses at Madison, they are gorgeous!

No Spring rush at WCU, just COBs, thank god, I hate rush

Just for interest, why do you hate rush? OK I am just that nosey!
If you don't mind telling, that is.

SnakeyKPledge-- I PM'ed you.

maggieaxid-- I tried to PM you but your box was full! Then I decided that my message wasn't that private... :D so here 'tis:

Yes, I have a very close friend from high school that pledged Sigma Kappa at Elon last year. She has spoken very highly about all the groups there. I visited the school but at that time did not think the Greek system was something I was interested in. I would love to go back and see the chapters there now! :)

Ironically my friend at App and my friend at Elon were like best buds in high school... I thought it was so cute that they both fit with SK at their schools! They share even more now and still do stuff together all the time. :)

Hey, thanks for responding GeekyPenguin! I sent you a pm, so I'd love it if you let me know if GPhiB was doing spring recruitment!

As far as I know....
 

...our Gamma chapter at UW Madison will not be doing COB since they made quota during Fall Rush. Sorry:(

Cele is correct. UWGirl, I'm sorry I didn't answer your PM, but my computer is not promoting the highest form of computerhood right now and after like 9 tries I gave up. I'll ask around with my Greek friends from Madison and see who else is - you can't go wrong with most of those sororities - and they all have such gorgeous homes! I was up there the other day getting some stuff from the bookstore and was so impressed with ours, as well as KKG and Pi Phi, but they're all incredible compared to my chapter's house. Good luck, and please let us know how it goes!

On the subject of Wisconsin sorority houses . . .
 

I love the Gamma Phi Beta and Kappa Kappa Gamma houses at Madison -- they are gorgeous. I like the Delta Gamma house a lot too. And the Chi Phi fraternity house is my absolute favorite on all of Greek row; it has been since I was tiny.

From what I remember from recruitment, almost all of the houses had equally beautiful interiors.

breathes- what a small world! I probably wouldn't know your friend, bc i am slowly coming to the realization that i am getting old- granted i graduated in 2000. anywhoo, sigma kappa has a great chapter at elon, they colonized the fall of my sophmore year, so i had already become a sister of AZD. But a few of my good friends were SK's and they loved it!

Too bad Pi Phi wasn't at elon- I am a legacy, however when I was looking at schools, greek life wasn't at the top of my list either!

Rollins College in Orlando starts rush January 26. Wish our girls luck. This will be AOII's first formal recruitment :)

UAF!
 

The University of Alaska Fairbanks is having formal recruitment beginning the 21st of January. aurora_borealis, what sorority are you in at UAA?
I wish all of you having formal recruitment the best of luck and remember to have fun! :)

Zeta Mu Chapter
Sigma Sigma Sigma

I contacted the panhel recruitment chair, and these are the sororitieis doing spring recruitment at University of Wisconsin- Madison:
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Phi
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Sigma Delta Tau

I'm so excited for all of you! Going through recruitment on either side is so exciting, and I wish everyone good luck. I must say....it is nice to see January roll around and not be planning all of the events. There are benefits to alum life ;)

Is recruitment over at Valpo? How did they do?

Those are some great choices, UWGirl! And sugar and spice is a DDD! :)

I know! I'm really excited about spring recruitment now, because one of the sororities that is doing spring recruitment was one that I really liked a lot when I went through fall recruitment. Wish me luck!!! :)

Not yet! I'm driving out tomorrow to assist the chapter with Theme Night (girls narrow to 4 of the 7 sororities), staying for Saturday's Preference Night (narrowed to 2 sororities), and Sunday is Bid Day. Dunno what I'll be doing on bid day, but I hope to get the names/hometowns/majors of the new alphas for the webpage, and take lots of photos for the page! It's set to go from 3-8 p.m. Sunday.

I'm sure we'll know more by Monday! : )

Thanks for posting those! (I wish they would update the Panhel website more than once every semester . . . grrrr.) I already knew about Alpha Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta, but there are more sororities doing spring recruitment than I thought, which is awesome. And you have an advantage since you went through recruitment in the fall, so you have an idea of where you want to go.

Of course I'm going to invite you to visit Tri Delta :) but let me know how it goes no matter where you end up going. I'm so excited for you -- although I'm sure rush on the other side is going to be fun for me too.

Recruitment was tiny-- 84 started recruitment going for seven sororities. Four made quota of eleven, one made ten, one made nine, and one made two.

Which sucks, because when I was there (and in a local), quota was twelve FRESHMEN and eight upperclassmen for a quota of TWENTY.

How can we get more people interested in formal, and not just COB?

Re: Baldwin-Wallace College
 

What's up, dixiesong3131. Always nice to see a fellow greek from Cleveland.:)

Rush for Us and the Tekes At Cleveland State University usually start during the second/third week of school.

I'm a PNM, and I'm really excited, but super nervous. I really don't know what to wear. I know the girls are really nice, but I'm so anxious to make a good impression! :eek:

Just curious....
 

kateshort...which sororities made quota etc at Valparaiso?

Re: Just curious....
 

Dunno for sure, but from the nametags on the door of the CR next to ours, GPhiB was one of them! Congrats!

yay!
 

That's great news! :D

Hey-this message is in reply to Iowa's message a few pages back.......

I was a Zeta Tau Alpha at UMD and graduated last May. I have to say I had the time of my life there!!!!!!! A real plus of our greek system is that b/c it is so big, there really is a house for everyone. I wish your sister the best of luck, and just remember to tell her, rush at can be very overwhelming and tiring, so just remember to pace herself, and stick with it....she has everything to gain! MD greek life is SO fantastic.

Yay!
 

:D I was just inducted as a pledge of the Delta Epsilon chapter of Sigma Delta Tau!!!! :D

University of Puget Sound Recruitment
 

I'm very happy to report that the University of Puget Sound finished a very sucessful recruitment with 4/5 chapters making quota plus...including my precious Pi Phi angels! Everyone was all smiles and the chapters were all so excited...it was a very good day indeed!

My ex-boyfriend decided to go Sigma Chi at UOP... great house... he's very lucky to have them just as they're lucky to have him!

Congratulations to all the other new pledges.

XOXO,
Annie.

Lander University just had its spring rush Zeta got ten great girls and Gamma Phi got 12 great girls... Us Phi Mu's are still at total and cant take anyone... but we went to bid day to cheer the fellow greeks on!

Spring Recruitment
 

I'm happy to say that Pike at UOP got 17 awesome pledges, not only the biggest class, but the best guys. They are all ensuring the continued success of Pike at UOP.

Re: Spring Recruitment
 

Congratulations to your chapter! I heard that you guys ended up with the most new pledges on campus, which is awesome!

The best of luck to your new pledge class... I'm sure they're going to follow through with the tradition in excellence that Pike's established at UOP.

XOXO,
Annie.

Re: Yay!
 

Congrats EmorySarah!! How did the other groups do at Emory?
