Mu Chapter Recruitment
 

Starts in 2 1/2 weeks! It would be great if everyone could drop a note of well wishes to them!!

PM Me for the address if you are interested in dropping a note to them.

For those who dont know Mu chapter is at Brenau University in Gainesville Georgia( North Georgia Mountains area).

This year is the first year of deferred recruitment and the girls in all groups are finding adjustment slightly difficult.

Recruitment starts on Oct 3 and bid day is on Oct 6th. There are seven NPC groups on campus now which include:

Alpha Gamma Delta
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Chi Omega
Phi Mu
Delta Delta Delta
Zeta Tau Alpha

We did have a DG chapter but it closed several years ago if anyone was around when they were and was wondering why they are not on the list.

Wish us all luck!!

PS Now I am the Operations Advisor for the chapter. Anyone have any info ????

From one Ops Advisor to another...

Be organized! lol;) Keep track of documentation..who has what when.

I have to remind myself to remind my VP of the reports she will have do that are due in December, March and the end of the school year...of course, she'll probably remember on her own :D

Good luck!!

LiEP,
Lynn

Wendy, I don't think there was a DG chapter there. I do know for sure that Delta Zeta and Alpha Xi Delta were there and left many years ago. I think where Simmons Hall is was the DZ house. Did you know that there was a smaller AGD house that was used years ago. It's where Senior Hall is these days. I think AGD moved to their current house in the 1960s.
Good luck with recuitment on Oct 3-6. I will see yall on Fri. night. I will probably email you all before in any case. Lisa

Typo!!

Yes, sorry. There was a DZ chapter there. I knew about the AZD, there also was a ASA and DPhiE chapter according to Biards...interesting to see who used to be a your campus!!

Lisa, definitely give me a yell when you get here. Maybe we can go grab a supper on Fri evening or Sat!!! Cant wait to meet you!!

Good Luck!
 

I am glad that our's was all over at the beginning of school, but it was a fun time! Good luck and let us know how it all goes!

Monica (and her well-wishing theta iota sisters!) ;)

Wendy I private messaged you about my plans in Oct. Lisa

It is now recruitment week!!! Everyone in Mu Chapter is so excited for it to be over because we have waited so long and grown close to so many great girls, and even know of some that definitely want to come our way. The rumor here on Brenau's campus is that a lot of the girls want to be Alpha Gam!!! It is really exciting.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!!! We want quota plus but it would only take 6 to put us at chapter total.

Loyally in EP,

Jessica

Jessica, Good luck and best wishes to all of you!!! I'm sure everything will be great, after all we are the Brenau Mu- Alpha Gams!!!!! I will see you all probably Sat. during the day, then I will be back for pref. I would love to see what is new with the house.
Did you get my Alpha Gam Gram e-mail? I thought it was a cute idea.
Anyways, have a super week and do us proud!!!! See yall soon. Lisa Fishman

Good Luck, Jessica and Mu chapter!

Hey Lisa...What is an Alpha Gam Gram email????

Wendy, Go to www.greekgrams.com Then pick Alpha Gamma Delta. You can choose all kinds of AGD related pictures, then write a note. It's like stationary for email! Try it sometime! Lisa

If Gainesville would move closer to Athens, maybe I could make it! ;) :D

We're going on a tour of the AGD house (even though I already know what it looks like..I lived there one summer ;) ) and then enjoy "beautiful" Athens!

Best of luck to Mu - collegians and alumnae!

Loyally,
Lynn

Thank you, Lynn. Lisa

Ok, I dont know exactly how I am gonna do this but this is the info from Mu so far.

In the begining there were 84 women signed up for rush, 7 withdrew. We have had awesome return percentages so I am really excited for the girls.

The first day was Open House with I am thinking is alot like the sisterhood day we had on my campus, then today we had Philanthropy (sp) where the girls and the PNMs made pumpkin trick or treat containers and decorated them all cute and stuff to give to diabetic children and they are putting sugar-free candies in them.

Tomorrow is the "Theme Nite" Which is pretty much the same as the skit day we had. The parties start at 2pm and I will try to give an update tomorrow.

These women are amazing in how they do things. They know exactly what they need to be doing and everthing runs so smoothly. These girls really care about there chapter from what I am hearing in discussion.

That is it for now!!

PS I got to meet Lisa today and was sooo excited to talk to her and meet her. You are sooo great Lisa!!

Update!
 

Ok...today was the "skit day" or theme is what they are calling it here. The girls did beautifully (sp? im so tired!LOL). Things went even more smoothly than yesterday if that is even possible!! The girls are soooo excited about tomorrow.

Tomorrow is pref and the parties are starting at 12:00 with two parties. Then by 5:00 is the bid day festivities. This year they are having the PNMs sign there bid card and putting the bid day shirt on them. The new member will then run down to the houses. This will be taking place at Brenaus Amphitheatre (??sp) and the houses will groups down at the bottom I believe. It sounds like it will be exciting!!

I dont think I can tell you what quota is or not right now so I will refrain just in case. But the girls feel very confident they will reach and the talk is the campus on whole is doing very well this year!!

The alums spent most of the night talking into the wee hours and getting to know each other and the girls better. I had sooo much fun these last couple of days. Makes me miss the collegian days!!!:( But it is nice to know I dont have the stress of rush, or at least it is a different kind of stress!!

Sorry this is sooo long! I am excited and often ramble when having fun!!! It is hard to not be able to share more but tomorrow will be so much fun to post!!!

Hi everyone. I'm back from Brenau! The skit at Mu was really cute and I could hear PNMs laughing. Pref was beautiful and it looked like a great turn out. When I left, quota was set, but I don't know how many came back to accept their bids.
I enjoyed meeting Wendy and Jessica in person. As well as many others in Mu. It was interesting to see things there. At first, I was overwhelmed of all the new things in the house and all the great girls I met. My impression of them was that they are genuine and enjoy each other's company. I knew they were real, true and genuine because they were like this the whole weekend while I was there from Fri. until Sun afternoon. :) ;) :cool:

YEAHHHHH MU!!!
 

We got 11 great new baby squirrels which was quota and we reached total. We are now the 2nd largest on campus!!!!

I think this is how things went down
Quota is 11
Total is 37

ADII--6
AXO--5
PhiMu--11 (+1)
ZTA--11 (+1)
XO--9
AGD--11 (+1, this one was COB'ed before last sem ended)
DDD--11

The new girls are SOOOOO great as are all the women at Mu!!! It would be great if you all could send a note of congrats to the sisters and welcome to our new squirrels!!

I really enjoyed meeting Lisa as well. She was/is an AWESOME person and Alpha Gam. and Mu chapter is so glad to have her back in there lives even if just for a little while and at sparatic times!!

Go Alpha Gam!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS, MU!!!!! You all deserve only the best of the best. I am sooooooo proud of them. This is terriffic news! I am so happy to be an Alpha Gam! Lisa

Mu Chapter results!!!
 

Today is Bid Day, and I just wanted inform everyone of how Mu chapter did in recruitment. Quota was 11, and we got quota. We are so excited and happy because all of are girls are so beautiful, so sweet, and so ALPHA GAM!!!! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Jessica

Re: YEAHHHHH MU!!!
 

CONGRATULATIONS MU & Wendy & Lisa!!! WAY to GO!!! Job well done ladies!! Just to let you all know that you also have 22 wonderful new sisters at the Delta Zeta chapter (quota + 2 & now they're the biggest chapter in decades on campus!!) :D

Once again congratulations ~ all of the effort certainly paid off!! :cool:

liEP,
~ Jen

Thanks, Jen. I really did'nt do much for them. I did supply them with boxes (plural) of Kleenex, though. Those came in to be VERY useful! Everyone cried just after pref., including myself, like a baby. Anyway Mu is amazing these days, and I was most impressed by visiting them. Mu impressed me the first minute I met them. What impressed me most was how real the girls were (not an act) and how much they cared for each other. They are amazing!!!! Lisa

Jen ...congrats to Delta Zeta!!! Most chapters represented here on Greek Chat seem to have done well or to be happy with how they have done!!

I am soo happy to hear of our chapters and sisters doing so well!!:D

And Lisa, you showing up meant alot to the girls and you did soooo much more than just give kleenex's!!!!

Congratulations to y'all!! I know that the chapters were very appreciative of alumnae there to support them!
