The 2005 Carnation Group Recruitment Thread
 

Hello again folks, as we start yet another Carnation family and friend recruitment thread. This thread will cover the rushes of:

2 UGa freshmen
2 Jacksonville State freshmen
1 Auburn freshman
1 Valdosta State freshman

No clue how I'll handle this thread yet but the AU freshman called and said she leaves for Auburn on the 8th. I've been promised daily updates in exchange for helping them with recs, which I would've done anyway, of course! We have known these girls most or all of their lives.

No, this won't cover my 5th daughter's recruitment! I'm not sure how I'll cover that either.

Strap on your seat belts! These recruitments could get wild!

What are your chances of getting a sister out of this group?

Hmmm!!!

There's an Alpha Delta Pi Chapter at each of those schools, and NO Azure Blue in the Carnation Nation yet!! :D

Auburn and Georgia both have Pi Phi chapters!

honeychile, no azure and blue yet in our Nation but only one of the PNMs who's related is at a school with ADPi. We'll see!

Honeychile, there's no ADPi chapter at JSU, but we do have 5 other great orgs. Good luck to all the members of the Carnation group. I'm looking forward to hearing all six of these stories, not to mention your 5th daughter's recruitment, Carnation! :)

Wow!! Your gonna have a doozy telling everyone's story, good luck!!

I hope everything goes splendid for all of your PNMs!!!

Good luck to all!

Ekk!!! So excited!!!! Good Luck!!!

No lie. Lemme see.

Okay, we'll call the 2 at Georgia Peach and Plum.

The 2 at Jax State can be Sun and Moon.

The 1 at Auburn can be Tiger . War Eagle!

And the 1 at Valdosta State can be Scarlet !

bestest to all of them...
carnation, the nation is expanding.
how fun is that?

Thank you Carnation.

You can't tell who the players are without a scorecard.

Holy crap, how are you ever going to keep up with all those names!!! :eek:

This is gonna be one hell of a year for your crew!

Wow this recruitment thread will be awesome! Six stories in one...can't beat that:D

Thank you for feeding our rush thread addiction. My favorite time of year is here!!!!!

Is Jacksonville State University different from Jacksonville University? I'm Florida-impaired!

Jacksonville State University is in Jacksonville, Alabama and Jacksonville University is in Jacksonville, FL.

I can't wait to hear about these recruitment stories :)

Best wishes to the crew! Please let me know how D5 does.

lol, carnation, I hope you have a notebook and a pen full of ink, cause I think you are gonna need it!! I thnk it will be almost more fun watching carnation referee all these, then the actually rush....o who am I kidding, I cant wait! Good luck Carnation Nation!!

WoW...when I saw this I said "ohh man" lol...I love carnation's threads :) Lets hope that you don't get them all mixed up on us ;-).

I can't wait! Pressing subscribe to this thread after I reply!!

Good luck to all the PNM, and also to you-- writing the stories lol!

No kidding!! Good luck to all the gals. It will be interesting reading. :)

Hurrah! Can't wait for updates. Hope they all enjoy the experience and thank them for letting us virtually peek in on it all.

Best wishes to them all. Whew, a half dozen stories in one thread is going to be like a full-fledged novel. Thanks, carnation, for posting the nicknames and schools -- I'll be referring to that. Sort of like the key to Ulysses or the astronomy class diagram of stars' life histories.

Have you decided how to share D5's recruitment story yet?

I think so--I'm really trying to preserve her anonymity so I want to talk to a few people about it and see what they think.

Of the girls on this thread, 3 are related but none of them carry our last name so they should be safe.

War Eagle!

Maybe the Yankee courtesy aunt (that would be me) will get an
Alpha Gam out of the Nation this time!

Hugs,

AGDAlum

I'm hoping for a DG out of the group ;)

War Eagle!!!

Good luck to the entire group! Would love to see a KD out of the group!:D

OOH, we can get up to 3 Alpha Xi's out of that group! Here's hoping!

Of course, I hope the girls get their hearts' desires. Best of luck to them!

carnation,

Best of luck to all your future members!! Can't wait to hear all about them!

I hope everyone finds the home they want and good luck!

War Eagle !!!

Thank you all! I saw one of our PNM nieces today and she was all excited.

We went to Atlanta yesterday and shopped for the rest of our daughter's recruitment clothes and got the jewelry here today.:eek: I won't recover from it for days!

Here's hoping we get another AOII!

Okay, let's make that 3 Jacksonville State freshmen that I'm reporting on, as one of the nieces' friends has just signed up.:)

how exciting!! i sure hope the dates don't all overlap!!

Carnation- Here's hoping all involved have a great and successful rush! And thanks for keeping us posted. I have some Guild girls going to some of these schools, so we'll have to see if any of them end up sisters!!

Yay for more JSU people! With the all the GC people and relatives and friends of GC people who are rushing at JSU, we'll have the rush stories of half the JSU PNMs right here on this board!

In case you couldn't tell, this makes me extremely happy.:p

GO GAMECOCKS! Or, even better, hooray for the home of the ass-kickin' chicken! :D

Greedy, greedy - we get at least ONE star on the Carnation Nation flag!! :p

Well then, make that 4 potential Alpha Xi's. :)
