A Disney Recruitment Story

[dancer88]

Ok so this was my first ever time participating in any type of recruitment but I am a junior. My school isn't known for having a competitive recruitment but this year they had the highest number of girls (640) sign up! We have eight NPC sororities and a new that will be colonizing soon. Chapter total is 119.

So I don't have any close family members that have gone greek so this website helped a lot! It prepared me for almost everything. I went into recruitment knowing that as a junior I has less chances than a Freshman. I do regret not going through recruitment my freshman or sophomore years but oh well I know this what I want and I'm doing it now!

Over the summer I had found a lot of information out about the sorority that was colonizing because I knew that they really wanted upperclassmen. I loved everything this organization stood for and the more I learned about it the more I wanted to be a part of it. I think being a junior puts you at a disadvantage because you know all the reputations that each house has. So i really wasn't sure I could see myself in any of the organizations already on campus.

Im going to use disney characters for the houses and may or may not reveal the code at the end...

Day ONE -4 houses

Alice- I really like the outside of this house and was super nervous when we were waiting outside. I kind of knew what to expect but every house and campus is different. They started their cheer which is really cute and then two execs greeted us and behind them on the stairwell were the other sisters. When I looked in the smiles on their faces looked so fake and I was so worried about what I had gotten myself into. I was called in pretty quickly but was paired with another pnm to one active. The house is so nice on the inside! So we sat down and ended up talking to four actives. I felt like this house bumped the actives so much that we just kept saying the same things over and over again and never really got anywhere. I did really like the last active I talked to. We had a lot of stuff in common. I wasn't so sure I would fit in here but wanted to give it another shot.

Ariel-I have a few friends in this house and while I like them I don't really like their house that much. It wasn't as welcoming as some of the other houses. I was one of the last girls called but I was one on one with an active which I liked. We sat down and talked for two seconds before it was time to bump which sucked. The next active was very confused or nervous or something. She kept trying to remember the questions she was supposed to ask and would stare off for a few seconds while she concentrated. She was nice though. Again I just can't see myself here and I wasn't sure if I wanted to come back.

Aurora-We had to almost run to this house because it is so far away. I have a friend in this house and had seen the inside and it is so nice on the inside and outside. In my opinion it is the prettiest house on the outside. It is also the oldest on campus. I really liked how they offered us water here. It was the first house to do so. Here I got paired with another pnm and one sister. She was actually roommates with my friend which was pretty funny. We talked for a bit then she was bumped by another active who ended up not feeling very well so we were bumped again. I really liked my friends roommate and I could see how much she loved her house. The last active was pretty nervous and told us so. I was sure I wanted to come back to this house on philanthropy.

Belle-Again we had to run back across a bunch of streets to get to this house on time. We barely made it! At this house I was one on one again. I talked to this girl the entire time. At one point another active joined for a bit as well. The main active was really nice and I have family where she is from so we talked about that. She was a little repetitive sometimes but I was tired so I didn't care. I was so-so about this but I just don't think this is where I belong.
