I joined through COB. For me, Greek life was something I'd already toyed with in my mind, without making the commitment of going through formal recruitment. I happened to befriend someone who was a Delta Gamma, and she suggested that I sign up for informal recruitment. I thought it would be a good way to meet people, even if I didn't decide to join, but when I went to their house and saw what an amazing group of women they were, I knew I had to join!
After I was initiated and I participated in informal recruitment from the inside, it always held a special place in my heart. I knew that the ladies going through COB were just as great of finds as any that would go through formal recruitment in the fall, and I worked as hard as I could to make sure that we got an amazing group of new members. We had some really cool events: a fashion show, an hors d'oevre party, inviting the PNM's to AnchorSplash. And in the end, our spring pledge class ended up being some of my best friends in the chapter!
