More Spice!
Recruitment 'started' the first week of school with a BBQ cookout in the “Sorority Yard”. (All of the houses (except 1) were next-door to each other on pie-shaped lots that backed up to a common backyard. One was directly across on the same street.) I signed up and went with a group of my floormates to check out the groups. I lived in the “sorority dorm” with many sophomores. I had chosen this dorm especially to meet these members. As I remember, we had a nice time and met many nice girls.
I wasn't surprised that my roommate wasn't at the BBQ as she had professed a disinterest in anything Greek (actually, anything extra-curricular). Those groups were exclusionary and haughty she had informed me. She wasn't (IMHO) a good candidate – she was a mediocre student, wasn't interested in ANY clubs or groups and (worst of all) she never took any care with her appearance; she never fixed her hair, wore make-up, shaved her legs or underarms or took daily showers (!). She smoked and REALLY liked guys and pot. What she didn't tell me was that she was a triple legacy to one (mother, sister and grandmother!) and her family was giving her the squeeze.
After the BBQ the next “event” was a “Powder Puff” flag football league that was formed by dorms. Having always loved football (my brothers and dad played in college) I was certainly excited. This wasn't a PanHel event, but as my dorm was 90% greek, it certainly was a way to “rush”. What I learned was that my dorm was mostly Posh, Sporty with a few Babys – but no Gingers or Scarys. I learned those Sportys were SERIOUS about winning. The Poshs seemed always worried about getting dirty and the Babys were the most supportive of everyone.
