Even though recruitment didn't always go the way I anticipated or wanted, I am happy with where I ended up. I know that with such a huge pledge class, we will be able to do great things at IU. I am so excited!

Congratulations! Enjoy your time as an Alpha.

yayy CookiesNCream!!!

i was so excited to hear about ADPi this year! I knew so many great girls in that house and I think they have one of the strongest sisterhoods and some of the most dedicated women on campus! Enjoy these next few years and have fun riding the B Bus! :D

Well, even though I didn't get a bid I'm looking into doing informal rush. I loved one house so much, and would love to be apart of it.

I've loved them all along but was always hesitant to go forth with them because of their reputation, but something changed in me today.

I feel like I grew up a lot today by the simple action of picking houses and I'm really happy.

I feel like you are just all around a good person after reading this. :D

Cookies- YAYAYAYAYA I'm am soooo excited for you!! I hope you had an amazing bid night! Cherish all your time in your house, it flies by

Kirkwood- Definitely do informal recruitment!!! It's a really great way to get to know the houses REALLY well because you are out of the traditional "recruitment" setting, and hopefully you can also get a bid!! Good luck!! I'm hoping it will all work out and let us know how it goes!!!!

Congrats, CNC!

That's so cool to pledge during the rebuilding years...it's almost like being a colonist. It's going to be so much fun to live in the chapter house next year.

Just to clarify, we extended 96 bids and 87 chose to attend Bid Day! If all stick it through to initiation, that will bring our chapter from just above 40 when I joined to 176!

DubaiSis 01-11-2011 03:31 PM

Isn't it so much better to hear that than ADPi gave up on their IU chapter and closed? I'm so glad you were able to make it out of the woods. I'm assuming you were the smallest chapter on campus, a year ago or so anyway. How many chapters are still below what would pass for a chapter total? Are they also in rebound mode?

kirkwood 01-11-2011 04:02 PM

I was kind of bum you guys and one other sorority aren't doing informal, because I heard it's a great way to get to know that house in a new way.

Do you have confirmed info on that (or did I miss it earlier in the thread)? If they have room for 96 and 87 accepted, they may be filling the remaining spots.
