[AuburnMom85]

I thought I would attempt to document the experiences my daughter goes thru during her upcoming Recruitment (hard not to call is Rush!!) at Auburn University. I will be using 17 jewels and gemstones to represent the sororities at Auburn, in no particular sorority order or significance. I know some of these have meanings to different sororities, but they are random!

Amber
Amethyst
Aquamarine
Diamond
Emerald
Garnet
Jade
Lapis
Moonstone
Onyx
Opal
Pearl
Peridot
Ruby
Sapphire
Topaz
Turquoise

I will be vague on some of my details, but will post as much as I can via my daughter. My daughter, "A", is excited, but nervous at the same time. We will move her this weekend. She will have a informational meeting Sunday night, and then officially get started on Monday!

I've gotten a lot of good information from this site and hope that our experiences will help some others coming behind us. My #1 piece of advice to A has been to keep an open mind and options open. She knows a few girls in some of the different sororities, but also realizes just how competitive it will be.

"A" has two good friends also going thru Recruitment - I'll just call them B and C. I'll try to post some info on how their week is going as well.

This will be quite a journey, I'm sure. I'll update again soon!
