Oh hey, I'm back.
Not even gonna lie, I stopped reading way back on page four, but I skimmed most of it.
At first, this whole thread sent me into panic mode and I immediately started making plans to find recs for every sorority. However, with recruitment starting in just days, I decided to let it go.
I'm not worried. I've come to the realization that with my campus being so small, I believe that a lot of this rec talk might not apply. Maybe I'm just oblivious. But truthfully, half the people in my state couldn't tell you the general location of my campus. I think that at a campus this small, it's more about the people you know in the houses.
This campus has been having extreme issues with dirty rush. Recruitment was bumped up almost a full month from last year's to avoid it. Even so, I constantly overhear conversations about actives taking PNMs out to lunch and meeting them at off campus parties. It's bad.
Panhellenic is also trying to do recruitment differently by enforcing that the bonds are what matters the most. We used to have a recruitment Pinterest board and fashion show for PNMs. This year, they did away with it, hoping that girls will focus more on the values of each sorority as opposed to the outfits.
There are so many girls going into rush with the desire to suicide rush certain chapters. For freshmen, this seems ridiculous. As a sophomore, I understand the benefits, but also see that it could do more harm than good. I myself have two chapters that I am really not fond of (they are not necessarily same chapters that I had issues with last year). As a sophomore, I see where suicide comes in, but I really don't think it is something I plan on doing if I make it that far.
As I said, I will not be updating as I go each night because 1. I need sleep and 2. I'd prefer to see how everything shakes out before I get my hopes up on any certain chapters.
I do need opinions. Would you guys like me to keep the same coded chapter names from my previous story (Country music artists), or should I switch it up and keep all the chapters anonymous from last year? A lot has changed since my first experience and my opinions on almost all of the chapters are different.
I might pop in once or twice more before recruitment starts. Thank you for your well wishes, I appreciate them so much!
