Nolegirl: I'm really sorry recruitment didn't turn out as you expected. Best wishes to you in everything you do at FSU. I know you said you didn't think COR would be for you, but if a house that you are truly interested in is holding it, I think that maybe it wouldn't hurt to visit them a time or two to see what they are all about.
COR is MUCH more relaxed that Recruitment can be. I joined through COR, and if I had to go back, I would probably do it that way all again. Formal recruitment sounds like a really fun and exciting week for pnms, but honestly I think it would have drove me bananas
Best of luck in everything you do !
