Me, too!!
 

I'm sure we'll probably see each other there without even realizing it! Gettin nervous, y'all... UA recruitment with 2030+ girls is about to start. Doesn't that make this the biggest rush ever?

Yep, and like I said on another thread yesterday, more girls are seeking to join a sorority at Alabama this year than who were IN a sorority at the Capstone just ten years ago!!

Editing to add "again" - it was the largest last year, too!
As of tonight, 2,094 are registered. Tomorrow the registration fee jumps to $250, so I kind of doubt we'll hit 2,100...frankly, I wish they would shut it off a week before!!

Just a little off topic question, if you didn't have alot of involvement in highschool will you not be considered in alabama rush? I couldn't do much like varsity sports because I had to have a job. I was involved in some things but not an impressive amount. I however do plan on being WAY more involved in college so does that count for anything?

I didn't go to Alabama, but here is some advice. Convocation starts in about an hour. It is going to be a stressful week. Do not make things worse by worrying about what you can't change. Put your best foot forward and focus on the positive. Think about the responsibility, leadership, and time management skills you gained from working. Keep an open mind. In the end, everybody is down to one chapter. Deep breaths. Best wishes.

Convocation at UA starts at 7pm central tonight

If you listed that on your resume, that is considered as an extracurricular. You should be OK.

Sorry. I was thinking of a different school. But the advice still stands. Don't create additional stress for yourself.

Final count was 2,113 registered. Wow!!!

Also, keep in mind that cuts are often deep in the first rounds...keep your chin up and keep going. My daughter (who is thankfully on the 'other side' this year) said she knows two girls from our area who won't make it past the first round due to their grades. I'm sure there are many others with similar situations. That 2,113 will be a good bit smaller by Monday.

The article included a few photos. At Alabama door chants appear to be one of the Greek customs.

Yes, a properly stacked door is important.

My daughter is going through recruitment right now. I have read enough to know to keep my posts vague, but she is having a great time. She's from out of state, with excellent grades, etc and had 11 invites today. She had recs for all but three of the sororities (we just couldn't find alum for them) and was prepared to not be invited back to those. She was sad that she ended up loving one of the groups that she didn't have a rec for, but she is still having a great time with her remaining options :)
