Who Is Rushing Fall 2018-Spring 2019????
 

PNMs are already starting to get their recs in order. Hopefully, they are not waiting till the last minute!
And you know what that means:
It is almost that time of year again. So I am now starting the thread for 2018-2019.



Unless you are actually rushing or making a thread for a friend, a rec girl/boy or relative who is rushing, saying you are gonna rush and PMing me or posting the results, your name ain't gonna go on the list.
If after bid day, I happen to find that there is a new member in a forum, I will add them to the list--no biggie. If you come onto this thread and say you got a bid somewhere, I will put you down, it's all good


PNMs, remember this: discretion is your friend unless you want to become the queen conductor of the HME (Hot Mess Express). For the love of all things holy, keep your social media clean!

Everything does NOT need to go on social media...especially if you are acting a plumb fool!

My son is rushing at Auburn University. Very different from sorority rush at University of Alabama ;-)

Well, he picked the right school!

I’m rushing this fall at South Carolina!

Good luck Carolinagirl18! Please share your rush story with us after rush is over.

Jill, you are Rockstar! How many years have you been at this, girlie? I am in awe of your dedication.

FSU
Bama
Arkansas
Georgia
Georgia Tech
TAMU

It’s been slow this year which concerns me that PNMs will wait until the last minute or not have recs.

Hopefully it doesn't mean PNM numbers are down, but I think that is one of the causes. :(

It's very different from sorority rush at Auburn!

I've got a handful again - Auburn, Georgia, South Carolina for sure.

Daughter is going through recruitment at Univ of AR this fall (hear it is very competitive). Only 2 recs for me so far--AR and KSU.

I’ll be going through recruitment this fall at UT Austin! I’m super excited!

My daughter will be rushing in August at University of South Carolina. We were totally clueless on how all of this works since she will be a first generation college student. Just found this site this week and it’s helped a lot. We were very unknowlgeable about how the recommendations worked. We’ve obtained recommendations for 3 chapters, but are having a hard time locating alumni from others since we are getting a late start :-(
But, we are very excited about the experience she will be having in her next chapter of life!

So glad that you and your daughter have found this site. IMO this site provides excellent suggestions for anyone unfamiliar with the recruitment process. Please read any of the recommendations/suggestions for surviving recruitment in the warm southeast climate along with tips for conversations and the all important what to do regarding recommendations.


Good luck to your daughter and I hope that she enjoys the process.

Hi baalt33! I am rushing this August at USC too! I am native to SC and feel like I have a good amount of knowledge on rush at USC and what girls our age are wearing/doing! Please message me if you have any questions!! I'm sure your daughter is just as excited as I am!

I have written seven recs so far:
FSU
Kentucky
Missouri
Ole Miss
Nebraska (3)

thanks. many years. Finally catching up. Between traveling and starting a new job things have been nuts. The new job has a shorter commute :D

My daughter is about to go through recruitment at UGA. 19 sororities! Lord help us!

I was asked to write one for a young lady going through at USC (S. Carolina) next month. I told her my schedule so we could meet and never heard from her. I hope she got her recs for all the sororities lined up, but she will not get a Kappa one from me. My summer got too busy/filled up too quickly--I am not inclined to chase down a PNM to get her info. A "thanks but no thanks" reply to my email would have been the polite thing to do. Guess I will have to live vicariously this time through all of your PNMs' recruitment results!

Thank you for your offer, I may message you sometime. And, I look forward to hearing how your rush experience goes :)


That was very nice of you to offer to help though :)

Thanks, baalt33. I love the excitement of recruitment. I hope your daughter thoroughly enjoys her recruitment experience and finds her "home away from home." Please keep us posted.

I'm wondering if numbers are down all over this year. I only had one reccomendation to write this year -- to TCU -- versus the usual dozen or so I write each year.

Recruitment registration at Alabama just closed and according to information I received from our chapter there, the total number of PNMs is 2244 this year. That seems really low for Alabama. With its growing popularity with Texas students, I'm usually writing multiple recommendations to Alabama. This year I didn't receive a single request.

I noticed that about Alabama as well - down approx. 400 from last year.
U of Arkansas is up, but only by about 8. Their Panhellenic FB page lists 1717 registered.

Any thoughts about why it's down? I'm really surprised at Alabama, I think they might have the highest number of PNM's of any SEC school.

I've written 5 Bama recs this year, lots of UA kids from our part of Texas!

My daughter is going through rush at Nebraska (at Lincoln). I've written recs for Mizzou & Ole Miss

So far I've got:
UGA x2
FSU x2
Alabama
Auburn
UCF
Texas

My daughter is going through recruitment at Texas A&M this fall. I've only written 3 recs this years--TTU, Auburn and my daughter's. I think I am writing one for Baylor later this fall.

Last year I wrote quite a few more. My daughter's class is just an interesting one. Very few of the girls were interested in pledging. The ones who I would see as Greek all went to ACU which only has locals.

Have added 2 more for Tennessee and 2 more for Clemson! Am up to 16 now but time is growing short!

My D is going through at South Carolina in a few weeks!

A friend of my DD at Ole Miss

I did recs for-

1 at LSU
1 at Alabama
1 at U Cincinnati (I don't think they're even necessary here, but it was a family friend)
1 Northern Kentucky
2 at U Kentucky
1 at Arkansas

Only a couple are family friends so I'm not sure how many I'll hear back from, but it's still fun to do these for gals that come through alumni panhel!

I only ended up writing two this year, one for TCU and the other for Texas A&M. I'm eager to find out where these two wonderful young women end up!

I have a rec girl going through at Auburn.

Just got a Colorado State one off.

I've added a Berkeley, Arkansas, and UGA last minute, bringing my total to 11:
UGA x3
FSU x2
Alabama
Auburn
UCF
Texas
Arkansas
Cal/Berkeley/UC Berkeley/whatever they're calling it these days
