Right?

In the first round, you have maybe 20 minutes to make an impression.

There's a lot of judging books by covers because that really is all you have to go on.

I know the OP is planning on going through COR, but the judging a book by the cover thing is still going to happen there, particularly if you don't know a lot of the members personally by the time the first parties roll around.

It's not that sorority members are ALL superficial there, it's just that there's not enough time in a recruitment setting to go deeper than the "what's your major, what are your hobbies" kind of conversation.

Although I'm sure at least a handful of sorority members at the OP's school will know a little bit about her given her posting history on GC.

Use of the word DUH always reminds me of this moment in my favorite movie:

Irony irony irony irony

since you have shared so much information about yourself on greekchat, it would probably be best that you NOT list your cousin's affiliation on your recruitment enrollment form. people might be able to figure out who you are and read your posts and they don't present you in your best light.

atrainer, legacies just don't matter as much as they used to, so i wouldn't worry so much about not being a legacy. usually it only gets you back to the 2nd round of parties during formal recruitment. informal recruitment is a whole 'nother ball game, and being a legacy is no big deal-other than the fact the sorority might think that they have an edge over the other chapters . sororities don't have to ask you back.

we do hope that you do well in recruitment-we are just trying to help you not shoot yourself in the foot.

You're making yourself look horrible, and what's worse is that every sorority at Virginia Tech will be able to pick out the transfer athletic training major who's cousin is a Tech AXO. We have at least one poster who is an active at Tech now, many others at Virginia schools with friends in sororities at Tech, and countless others lurking! Stop digging a deeper hole for yourself and, for the love of God, stop posting!

Marry me. :D

Deal. But only if we stay away from teal and red because then half of GC would be shit talking at our reception.

I posted what I did because it's kind of like slapping a babbling person - you need to bring them back to reality. I think laying out the facts was the slap in the face to put it in perspecitve.

I would like to say I love you all for QFPing.

Ditto.

How did I miss this?

AOIIAngel - you've been looking at too many films.

Gusteau & Barbie's_Rush - congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. I'd be upset (I thought Gusteau was sort of sweet on me since he'd been posting all those opal badges on another thread) but I have sworn off marriage forever so I'm not really jealous. Really.

In closing: oh my. my my my.

I suppose this wouldn't be the best time to show off that engagement ring made with fire opals culled from antique badges, right? :D

Which is a shame because these would be so flattering on her...
