2007-8 recruitment begins in __ days!!
 

Auburn begins rush (also known as recruitment) on Aug. 7...just 10 days away!

>hijack

Just curious...is Auburn usually first in starting recruitment, at least among the bigger schools?

>end hijack

Lately it is. We used to be on the quarter system, thus didn't start rush until September.

Yeah!!! Warrrrr EAgle!!!! HEY!!!!!!

Washington State University in 16 days.

Oklahoma State University starts on Monday August 8th. Eleven days!

Go Pokes!

Did you mean Monday, Aug. 6??

University of Missouri, Columbia (MIZZOU) starts socials on Monday, August 13 -- that's just 15 days away!

University of Louisville in Kentucky starts recruitment in 13 days.

It's so weird to think that in 6 (less than a week!) days everyone will be coming back to get ready for recruitment! And of course, I'm excited beyond belief.

Random thought for all those "I-hate-retro-recruitment-thread" GC-ers: don't you think it's more likely we'll get a lot of "recent retro" threads in early to mid-September instead of late August? Just because of most PNMs' heightened "sense of discretion," if you will.

Yes, she does.

University of Georgia Starts August 11, so only 10 days away

And we at Greek Chat will forever remember this summer as the Summer of the Retro Rush....

oh wow some of these are starting in 2-3 days!! USF starts in 16 days!

for real??

Yep, Oklahoma State is halfway through day #2, second part of the First Round parties.

Forecast calls for sunny and 96. Must be about time to fry those eggs on W. University Avenue.......

GO P:)KES!!

I guess we aren't getting a batch of awesome current recruitment story threads :(

Unless they start popping up after recruitment is done with or close to being completed. I have no idea when they stereotypically start showing up in the recruitment story forum.

Florida State begins with Orientation on 8/19 and first rounds (ice waters) begin 8/20.

I know! I'd love to hear how it's going at Okla State.... but I guess no one on GC is going through recruitment there, or else they are far too busy to get on line. Oh well... we also serve who sit and wait. :)

University of Florida Recruitment starts Sunday, August 19. Panhellenic orientation August 18. 11 days to go!

University of North Florida recruitment starts Wednesday, August 31. They have a while....

Oklahoma State is through with day 2 of the Open House Round!! All the girls are SO precious! I can't wait to see them again on House Tour Day tomorrow!! :D

University of Washington starts Septermber 9

my aluma matter Oregon State is September 30.

yay, meglan for letting us know how osu rush is going. please update as you are able!!

Recruitment at Iowa State starts this Saturday, August 11!

This is the first year in quite a few years I'm not involved with recruitment at Iowa, and I don't even know when it starts. I'm guessing not until the 19th or so.

One of my co-workers daughter's is going through recruitment at OSU right now! There are quite a few Greek women in my office, so we're all living vicariously through her daughter! (We did this a few years ago when her other daughter went through at OU.) My coworker is on pins and needles waiting to hear from her daughter to see where she returned today, although we know that she'll most likely return to her 2 legacy chapters!

Sailboatgirl, keep us informed!! We are all living vicariously...

The Greek system at OSU is great, so she can't go wrong. Someone else on the board has a friend's daughter going through at OK ST. Hope we hear how it goes. Please update if it doesn't break any confidences.

That would be me. Dad is not great at getting information from his daughter. I'm dying to know!!! Hoping to hear more tomorrow.

Oklahoma State Update!

Weather - All I can tell you is it is HOT! We don't get to go outside until dinner time, but I know the poor PNM's are feeling the heat BAD.

Number of pnms - I believe the final number was 655... But I know a number of girls have already dropped.

Number of pnms vs. other years - I believe this year is actually smaller than the past... At least smaller than last year... I don't know too much for that though, seeing as this is my first year on this side of recruitment.

Bid Day date - Saturday, August 11. Girls receive their bids late morning/early afternoon and festivities take place at the houses that day until about 5:00.

Possible quota numbers - It is still early for this, but last year quota was 45 and we're expecting it to be around the same for this year too... Or possibly a few less.

Anyway, we've finished House Tour/Philanthropy day and tomorrow is Skit day! I know everyone at my house is excited, and I'm sure the other chapters and PNM's are as well because it's basically everyone's favorite day! Our chapter actually just finished setting up for the skit (a few of the girls) and I'm about to take a quick nap before parties start Thursday (today!) morning at 8! I'll update more when I am able, but these next couple of days will be hectic, so we'll see how it goes! Hope I'm keeping you all informed... if you have questions, feel free to ask!

hang in there meglan, and update as you are able. good luck to you and your sisters!

I just found out that my recruitment starts September 30, with Bid Day on October 5. I'll have to live vicariously through the Southern schools for the time being. :)

UCF starts next week! ADPi's annual "Pi and Tea" for the alumnae is this Saturday. It's an opportunity for the collegians to show off for the alums just before recruitment. We get to see their video, hear some songs, and mingle with the ladies.

I haven't lived in Florida for 6 years, so I'm looking forward to attending this event after such a long time away.

My daughter's UGA friends are packing up today and moving in tomorrow. Her Georgia Southern friends are getting close to bid day, and her Bama friends will be hitting the road this weekend.

My daughter moves in a week from today and hasn't even begun packing!

i just want to wish everybody going through recruitment good luck!:)

Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge starts on the 18th!
GEAUX TIGERS :)

Congrats MegLan!!! (and I hope you can get some sleep!) Have an awesome Bid Day! :)
