For sure! I like the threads that do day-by-day updates better...it adds a little more suspense to everything. Recruitment thread addicts, there is nothing to fear!:D

Just to add, my recruitment is right around the same time as KiwiJuice08's recruitment! So everyone will definitely be getting a good dose of recruitment stories.:D

I went shopping yesterday and bought a dress for pref!! It's very cute and I'm so so so so looking forward to rush.

Good luck with recruitment :)

Hope your recruitment is fantastic!

Good luck and remember to have lots of fun!

Since people have been asking, my recruitment is during the second week of September. Although I'm looking forward to it, I'm kind of anxious about it too-- I keep having weird dreams about joining different sororities!

It's nice to see so many recruitment threads! I don't feel so alone anymore:)

lol girls I'm glad I'm not alone - I had a crazy PNM dream too! I don't know what house I was in (that's probably a good thing!), but it was a good dream at least.

Well, if everyone is nervous, then I guess we're all in the same boat!

So I just finished moving all of my stuff in and getting my internet set up. I'm really excited for school to start and rush to get going! I've been talking with the people who wrote recs for me and apparently, none of them have been notified by their respective chapters that they recieved the recommendations, even though the chapters were given a (SASE) postcard to send back to my rec-writers. I'm a little disappointed, but maybe one will come back in the next couple of days.

Copa - Don't sweat too much about your rec writers not getting their postcards back. Lots of times when the recs come in in mid to late August along with tons of other rec letters AND all the recruitment applications, the recruitment information managers simply don't have the time to get the acknowledgment out is as timely a fashion as they would like. Some chapters even wait until after recruitment is over so they can add a personal note like, "We were very excited when Copa pledged our sorority." and "Our women loved meeting Copa and even though she chose a different chapter, we feel she will be a great member there."

As an alumna, I'd prefer to wait till afterward to get those nice little additions so that I know what happened and what the chapter thought! But that's just me. I see the benefits in having an immediate acknowledgment, but don't worry yourself to death over the lack of one.

Best wishes for a fabulous recruitment!!

good luck!

my mom wasn't thrilled either. her sister was in a sorority a long time ago and she was afraid i would have similar experiences. plus, she didn't go to college, so she didn't have any other frame of reference. my mom got over it when she saw what a great group of women i found! i hope you enjoy your experience!

here goes nothing!
