[AOEforme]

AOEforme Jr. was quite excited to begin life at UW-Madison. She was getting excited, packing up her things for her dorm, buying her books (she decided on a biology major as she hopes to apply to UW's nursing program in 2 years), and picking out clothes.

One day, in preparation for school, she called me. "I just got the Panhellenic mailer about recruitment. I think I an going to do it. What do you think?"

I was thrilled. I hadn't wanted to push her, but I really had wanted her to go greek. She had come for our Families' Weekend last year and I think that was when she realized what a good fit a sorority would be. Besides, she had seen all my pictures from formals, mixers, and philanthropies, and wanted the same experiences.

My neighbor is a Chi Omega, so she set to work getting AOEforme Jr. recs and prepped her on what would go down at recruitment.

So move-in came and went and soon recruitment was at our door. AOEforme Jr set out for the Memorial Union Theater with a few girls from her dorm, more than a little nervous about what was ahead of her.
