"New Directions" SEC Glee Recruitment '10
 

My daughter will be going through recruitment soon and she wants me to post her story. She assigned the members of New Directions to represent the different chapters. **The number of chapters has been changed to protect her privacy** They are as follows:

Artie
Mike
Kurt
Brittany
Rachel
Mr Schuester
Finn
Puck
Mercedes
Quinn
Santana
Tina

We worked very hard get all the necessary letters of recommendation. She asked all her high school and middle school teachers. I asked everyone I knew. Between the two of us we asked about 100 people. Everyone was in 3 different chapters, Kurt,Puck or Mercedes. Ladies in chapters not at daughter's SEC school put us in touch with other chapter's alums and we were able to get the final three, Tina, Brittany and Mike from our local panhellenic. She has her outfits all picked out. She is excited for Rush to begin. I will post updates when I have them.

aww yay! I'm so glad you're doing a Glee theme! why didn't I think of that?? best of luck to your daughter! (and you too, I know my mom is becoming a nervous wreck :rolleyes:)

Good Luck to her! Can't wait to hear updates!

Good Luck!!!!

Interesting. I wonder if other chapters do that as well!

Yeah for a Glee recruitment!!!!!!

My two faves in one thread!

Hmm. Who to go for.....


Gonna have to go with Brittany. Her lines "Dolphins are just gay sharks" and "I think my cat is reading my diary" just take the cake!

^^ I agree! I love Brittany, and if I were terribly clever (which I am definitely NOT) I would write a hilariously creative recruitment thread where Brittany is a rushee. Just imagine the funny things she would say during rush!!

That would be awesome!

She'd probably be like "my cat told me to wear this dress".

Ok sorry this maybe a blonde question but how do you cnange the number of chapters? :confused: am I missing something?

I think she is adding chapters that don't really exist so we can't go "Oh, an SEC school with X number of chapters; it must be such-and-such school."

Doesn't that just seem to take the authenticity out of the recruitment thread? or is it just me.

I agree. She can be more honest about other elements without the risk of outing her daughter. If her daughter ends up pledging a chapter that wasn't her all out favorite, she doesn't have to worry about telling us which one it is, because we won't know what chapter it is. Also, she told us she's doing it. It's completely different than a perp who makes up a fake school with a random number of chapters.

No, it's real. If it were fake, the sleuths would call her out on it. Or it is at least about a real school.
Maybe fewer people will get it, but when it's your school, or one that you're familiar with, you know.

To protect the privacy of some of my daughters, I started their stories with 2nd parties and then--by the number of parties anyway--it was harder for people to out them and their location.

Plus, it makes the story easier to follow with fewer chapters and the "more important" chapters in the story, ie the ones the PNM actually returns to.

Ohh, I like this idea!

I had an idea on this one, but it's not who I thought just by the use of the word Pi Chi.

(even if I figured it out, I wouldn't out)

good boy!

GLEEK RIGHT HERE!

go team kurt! lol i love his character

Umm...ewww on the sharing mascara. I'd share lipgloss before I shared mascara.

I didn't know sharing eye makeup was something people did, until I got to college. It's kind of like washing your hands before putting in contacts....yuck.

and as a former camp counselor of pre-teen girls, I can tell you mascara is a breeding ground for pink eye. DO NOT SHARE mascara. Use all the tricks in the book to make it stay on all day and don't touch your eyes to smear it. And good luck!

I have heard of sharing powder eyeshadow in a pinch, but NEVER NEVER NEVER mascara. I'm pretty laid back about germs 'n such, but this is one thing that makes me go ew.

It's ok guys, they'll all get pink eye together and will bond as sisters. Or all Greek women. Or something ;)

Does Dora not live in a traditionally freshman dorm?

Also, can you tell us what groups are at the school? It's always nice to know that much.

That baggie thing is such a pain. My daughter did the same thing and stressed over the contents which for her included tampons! BTW, sharing stuff will only work for open house round. After that, they will no longer visit the houses together as a group.

Lip gloss can be just as bad as it may spread Meningitis or Mono (if I remember correctly from my many hours of watching Discovery Health).

It can spread anything that kissing can. If you're *that* type of girl, sharing a little lipgloss is probably not a big deal.;)

Having Mono or Meningitis doesn't mean you are 'that type of girl'. Many people are actually carriers of these type of infections. Meaning, you can 'have' Mono and give it to your friends/boyfriend/family members without showing symptoms or having the infection harm you in any way. My friend is a carrier, as her boyfriend got it shortly after they got together. He only shares drinks with her, and she is his second girlfriend and she doesn't have it however.

Basically Mono is so easily spread that avoiding sharing lipgloss probably doesn't matter much in the grand scheme of things.

I don't know how likely meningitis is to spread that way.

Are we talking stick gloss, wand gloss or pot gloss?

I feel like I just switched to the Discovery Channel instead of the Entertainment Channel! :)

lolz!^

Both.

But the Discovery Channel is the Entertainment Channel! Or is that just me? Ha ha.

Yes, I realize that. I wasn't being serious.

Well I actually know people who are serious about that type of thing. No offense to you, though. :] I'm just a discovery channel nerd.

Either way, back to your regularly scheduled recruitment story!
