Of course, you have a lot of changes coming up, but I am sure it will all be for the best!

Our chapter has been here for thirty years. It is pretty strong and we have a lot of traditions that we're still proud of. We had 10 sweethearts and 43 sisters after this years pledge class was installed. Unfortunately, there are a lot of girls transferring this year and leaving our school, so they won't be with us anymore
Our recruitment process was kinda silly. We only had two sororities on campus this year so we were required to take HALF of the pledges, regardless of how many there were. We ranked the girls (as a sorority) and the girls filled out a sheet of paper saying their number one choice. Then our director of student activities tried to match the girl with the best choice. Our motto is "Quality, not Quantity" so we were a little mad when we had almost 30 pledges this year. But I've grown to love all of them. I'm very excited about next years pledge process because it'll be selective. We'll get to choose who we want and we won't have to take TOO many girls.
Our pledging involves learning our sorority history, cheers, charter members, etc. We have a lot of fun pledge and rush events that have been very popular over the years. We have a sort of variety show called Meet The Greeks that is always fun. We also have an event called Impressions (which is a formal get together to let girls learn about our sorority. We also have one called Fly Delta (b/c Delta is part of our name). These events have been going on for years. Fly Delta is where we set up a classroom like a Delta Airplane and we travel all over the world, stopping at various places and sisters acting out skits. I don't know how we can incorperate
Phi Mu into this event b/c it's one of our favorites. I hope we're able to work something out.
I'm very excited about all the new opportunities we'll have though. Next year is going to be so much fun!
