Thinking about going through recruitment for the 2nd time? Here's why you SHOULD!

[FSUgreek]

I have been surfing greekchat and saw all of these heartbreaking recruitment stories about girls who don't get what they wanted or were released altogether. So I thought it might help to share my story and hopefully inspire girls to try just one more time. I'll tell the story in four different installments since it is covering two different years of recruitment (so please bare with me!)

But first, here's a little bit of background on me: I went through FSU's recruitment twice, my first time was in 2009 and the second being this year in 2010. I'm just your normal sweet southern girl, born and raised. I was very athletic in highschool, involved in all of the school musicals, chorus, SGA, you name it and I probably was a part of it. So as you can imagine greek life in college seemed absolutely perfect.

RECRUITMENT 2009:
Part 1- It was the first day of sorority recruitment and I was absolutely excited to see all of the wonderful houses on campus. FSU at the time had 15 houses, and I'll disguise their names so as to protect the chapters. Let's call them...

Snare
Violin
Cello
Flute
Clarinet
Guitar
Trumpet
Piano
Bassoon
Xylophone
Horn
Bass
Harp
Trombone
Oboe

We met with our Rho Gamma and I instantly clicked with my group. They were down to earth, amazing, gorgeous girls. So we go to our first five houses that day and the other ten houses the next day. By the end of the day I knew exactly who I was going to drop that round;
Cello, Piano, Horn, and Trombone. The houses I fell in love with that round were; Harp, Flute, Guitar, Xylophone, and Bass. I went to bed that night feeling really good about my decisions and couldn't wait for the next day.

We get up and meet our Rho Gamma around 9:30 in the morning and of course we go one by one to learn our schedules for the day. The houses I got asked back to were;

Snare, Violin, Flute, Clarinet, Guitar, Trumpet, Piano, Bassoon, Violin, Horn, and Bass.

I got two back that I dropped and one of the houses I loved dropped me but I wasn't really upset because I still had a full schedule and still had some really amazing houses.

more to come soon!
