Yay for a new AOII! Congratulations and welcome!

LOL...I wondered if anyone would recognize it! It's my favorite line...mainly cuz I always have wanted a monkey! ;)

The Barenaked Ladies have another song with the line "she's like a baby, I'm like a cat, when we are happy we both get fat". My husband and I joke that it's our line.

To get back on topic, I shared the Arkansas quota number with my co-recruitment advisor and she was floored. I don't even want to imagine what membership selection is like!

I still think it would be impossible to explain why you'd cut a legacy. Mrs. Mad Sorority Member calls your house and is screaming at you that she doesn't see why you liked 150 girls better than her daughter...

Love that song. My husband and I picked "The Loathing Song" from Wicked as our song last night. ;) we figure we'll play it at our 50th anniversary.

love that song. My husband and I picked the Sinaed O'Conner song "Last Day of our Aquaintence" as our divorce song. Not that we ever plan on getting divorced, but if we do, we have the song picked out. (we obviously have a warped sense of humor).

As for Carnation's comment about having to call a legacy's Mom if she is cut. It really doesn't matter how many girls are in the pledge class- the call just needs to be short and sweet. "I;m sorry to inform you that your daughter was released from Alpha Alpha Alpha. The chapter members did not feel that she was a good fit and that she would be happier elsewhere. Thank you and we wish your daughter luck with the rest of her recruitment.". No need to mention that the chapter liked 150 girls over their snowflake.
