I don't typically post in rush threads, but I'm surprised to see an Ohio/MAC conference recruitment thread on GC.

It is nice to see another MAC school, and one that does recruitment kind of like we do. We had three open houses this year over three different days at different times and the girls got a passport and had to visit each of the five houses. So I'm really interested to hear more :) And Charlotte was always my favorite character and I hated Mr. Big.

Congratulations!! I really believe you end up where you're meant to be, and sometimes that may be the group you may have overlooked earlier in Recruitment. Enjoy your new sisterhood!

I would love to know who the other chapters were...

Congratulations on Pi Beta Phi!

Loved hearing your Ohio story. I don't know too much about the chapters at Toledo, so it was great reading your journey. I also love your mother!!! What a great lady.

Congrats to you and Pi Phi.

I kind of like that passport idea (it's different), but it seems confusing. Did you find it difficult to start conversations with sisters, since you were just randomly walking in and out of houses? Or is there still a system where a sister will "pick you up" at the door and talk to you?

They picked us up at the door, and took us to a designated area. They took some girls on house tours right away, some girls went to the basement and some to the living. Because it was come and go as you please, there was really no way of controlling how many girls were in one house at a time. The one thing that I did not like, however, is that you only had 4 hours to see all 7 houses so if you were running out of time and haad to leave a house in a hurry, it could seem like you were just "ditching" the house and I really didn't want anyone to think that.

Congratulations! It sounds like you've found the place where you truly belong. :)

Nice to hear a UT story! I had the chance to see your campus with my daughter. Your greek village is great. Although my daughter went to another school, I really liked UT.

Congrats!

I kinda had a feeling you would end up at Carrie because of what you said during pref......that when the girl at Big was describing the reasons she chose her chapter and you immediately thought of Carrie instead of Steve...........I think that is a VERY big indicator that Carrie is where you were meant to be :) Congrats to you and Pi Phi!

I felt alienated and could not wait to get out of this house.


I think it is sorta funny how you used Charlotte probably the girliest of all the SATC characters to describe the non girl sorority. :D Just something I noticed as I was reading along.

But I did like reading your recruitment story, it was very good.
