Recruitment is underway here and I was listening to some freshmen in my hall discuss their experiences:

They seemed to all like KKG. One girl (and her mother) are super geeked about rushing but thinks she flubbed by telling a chapter she was hanging out with some frat guys next weekend. Turns out, the girl's older brother is/was in a fraternity here and is friends with some of the younger brothers of that house. So it wasn't supposed to sound how it did but... well, yeah.

They really loved Theta, but something about the house being really far from campus. The house is nice though. One girl went to middle school with a sister, then realized many of the members there were from her town, which led to finding out her older HS friends had pledged Theta at nearby schools. So, duh, she's thinking SHE should pledge Theta.

Bid Day is the 15th (a Monday? is that normal?). Moral of the story: GC is real, son.

Some random comments about DG and Alpha Phi. One girl wore a bracelet that a few other members in a house were wearing and kept getting mistaken for a sister of the house. It only occurred to her after she left to just take it off to avoid confusion.

All the girls were surprised at how down to earth and "normal" members seemed to be. One said she's not nearly as stressed as she thought she'd be.
