Delta Zeta colony?
 

Delta Zeta is coming to UTC next semester. Can anyone tell me how new sororities go about recruitment?

Every sorority tends to structure colony recruitment differently.

Threads about colony recruitment in general:

Thanks! I'm worried about missing out on things, like getting to have bigs.

Well, you need to get a bid first. :) Colonies usually have "twins" or alumnae bigs.

Of course. Well that's exciting. This has been helpful thanks for replying :)

Where is UTC?

Tennessee- Chattanooga

When our chapter recolonized, older members took younger members as Bigs and Littles (sister-mother and sister-daughter)

We had twins :)

Ok sorry I'm a little confused on the twin thing. If Patty and Sally are twins and Patty is leaving clues for Sally (she has to know who to give it to right?) and Sally is leaving them for Patty; wouldn't they both know who their twin already was? Or does only one twin know, but then who decides which one knows and which one doesn't? Sorry I'm sure I'm missing something here, but right now I'm very very confused.:o

you might not know who your twin is, but you leave clues as to who YOU are- usually the person who paired everyone up knows who is in each "pair" and coordinates the gifts and stuff so that they get to the right person.

Ok thanks for clearly that up. That makes perfect sense and I probably should of been able to figure it out, but it's almost exam week here. My brain is fried:o and I just want to curl up in my bed for a few days lol.

Just to throw this out there.. I am now a member of the first Delta Zeta pledge class at UTC!

Aw yay! Thanks for coming back and letting us know! How's it going?

CONGRATS!!!! Welcome to the sisterhood :)

Congratulations to you and to Delta Zeta! Would love to hear a little bit about your experiences from time to time if you get a chance. I've never participated in a colony, and likely never will, so like learning about it from those who actually get to do so.

That's great, Clementine! It's an honor to be a member of a colony. Enjoy being part of the beginning of a tradition.

how wonderful!!! congratulations.

Yea congrats to you!

I'm also a new mwmber of the 2010 Pledge class :) I'm so excited!!!!

And to answer some of the above questions, we will be having Twins! We will be getting them in two weeks and I can't wait!!!

Congrats on DZ and your upcoming Twin match,

My daughter is a DZ and we have been working on her little basket for a few weeks; here are a few things we loved!

Lily Pulitzer has a sorority line and they currently have 5 national sororitys. DZ is one of them. My daughter liked the clutch wallet.

They also have a whole line with really really cute Lily turtles!!

Charming Charlies (Chain accessory store) has turtle necklaces and lots of rose jewelry!

She is making a bulletin board as well as painting two pictures!

Photo frames or scrapbooks are nice too!!

Enjoy!!

(Sorry if I mispelled anything!)

Congratulations Clementine and DZCutie and welcome to our sisterhood! Come introduce yourselves in the Delta Zeta forums :D

Thanks everyone! And the Lily Pulitzer stuff is so cute, I was checking all that out before recruitment even began haha. By the way, I'm loving it! If I can figure out the whole forum thing I will do that but I don't really know my way around here yet..
