All I can say about the pictures is...wow...so not like recruiment at my school.
It's probably tiring for everyone involved.
On the Auburn Panhellenic site it says that recommendations are not required...how true is that really? If I had shown up in the south and gone to Auburn without recommendations, would it have been possible to join a chapter there?...and if you can't give me the truth and not the politically correct response...just PM me. I'm honestly curious.
