Feeling a liking for a chapter is a really good place to start from. And if your daughter has friends in the chapter, so much the better. A chapter that she likes might not only be a great fit for her, it might end up being the best fit for her.

Tell her that like can grow into love. :)

Recs aren't necessary for recruitment participation. Recs are necessary for membership selection. Maybe those GA's are hoping that if they drive home "recs aren't necessary" then people will stop sending them and the process will be easier for all. Let's face it. Most recs are anonymous forms filled out by women who don't know the PNM well. They don't serve the chapters as well as they did years and years ago, when it was truly a recommendation by an alumna who was well-acquainted with the rushee. Today, it's just checking off a box or regurgitating a resume after MAYBE meeting a PNM for a few minutes and deciding, "She doesn't SEEM weird."

Hi everyone!! Informal Recruitment starts tonight! Please send good Greek karma our way! I'll let you know how it goes!

I am sending good thoughts from Fayetteville to Chapel Hill to your daughter.

With that being said, she does need to keep an open mind. While it was disappointing for her legacy chapter to cut her in the fall, she had a full preference schedule, which means that she was wanted. She needs to remember that. She needs to show her confidence. She can't dwell on the past.

Yes-good luck to your daughter!!!

I just heard from my daughter, and she thinks it went well...but doesn't have anything to compare it to. Basically, everyone went to the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life and each chapter was set up in a different room. All of the houses were represented, whether they have spots for pledges or not. There were probably 3 or 4 girls representing each house. The prospective pledges walked around and went in whatever rooms they wanted to and chatted for a couple of minutes. They would sign their name on a list and that was about it. I think she's done with her part and will just have to wait to see if anyone contacts her. Hopefully they will!

Best wishes!

Heh, that's probably how I ended up getting a bid. I can pretend to be normal for short bursts :D

Great news! My daughter pledged Kappa Kappa Gamma and couldn't be happier! Woo Hoo!

Congratulations to your daughter, you and to Kappa Kappa Gamma!

Congratulations to her, and tell her welcome to Kappa!
