Sundance's Spring Recruitment
 

Hi everyone! I just joined GC oh, about two minutes ago. :) I've been lurking about for a few days now, reading a bunch of recruitment stories and "What NOT to do" threads to prepare myself for spring rush, which starts this Monday!

I'll be visiting eight houses on Monday evening, then receiving calls on Monday night to see which houses I've been invited back to. On Tuesday, I'll go to invitational parties for those houses, and get calls that night to see which houses invited me back for Wednesday's events. Then Thursday is Bid Day... this whole process seems a bit fast-paced for me, but we'll see how it goes!

I'm going to use planets to represent the eight houses, haha. :D Sadly, Pluto is not included.

So on Monday, I'll be going to Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune! I can't wait to come back and tell you all how it goes.

Good luck! I can't wait to read your experience! I'm rushing in fall. :)

Stanford starts on Tuesday with Orientation, and Friday with Open House.

I hope my late recruitment doesn't make my school too obvious! :rolleyes:

I know of another college having rush at that time.

Well Stanford's finals aren't over until mid-June. So with a standard 6-8 week NM period, that seems to work out (although it's funny to think of initiation happening near Memorial day!)

I'm so excited to read about what happens! Good luck!

Perhaps she'd visit the NPC plus the MGC (or some of them) they probably have varying recruitment practices.

I doubt it's Stanford. The dates don't line up. Also, NPHC groups generally hold their own recruitment events; interested people choose the one NPHC org they want to pursue, and typically attend rush events just for that one org.

You could squeeze in a 6-week NM period before spring finals. Most, if not all, NPC orgs have adopted NM periods of 6-8 weeks. Still, juggling NM obligations, late-semester academic work, other activities, a social life, and sleep (!) would be tough.

Anyway... good luck, sundance. Have fun. :)

Stanford's recruitment officially begins on the 10th. One of my best friends is rushing there. So no, it isn't Stanford.

IT IS BAD FORM TO POST WHERE THE PNM IS RUSHING IF SHE DOES NOT POST IT HERSELF.

Amen, amen. A couple of my daughters were "outed" during their recruitments and they were lucky that it ended up okay. With the advent of the thread that lists when all the schools have recruitment, almost no PNM can keep her location a secret and it never fails:someone says on the boards, "I know where you're rushing, it's ABC Tech!"

You'd better believe that I'm planning to disguise our daughters' recruitments heavily after this.
