Am I the only Stressed Mom?
My daughter's recruitment starts this weekend and I'm nervous and excited for her. Greek life on her campus is pretty laid back and the sororities live in university dormitories. She will visit all 10 chapters for first round Friday and Saturday and then can visit up to 7 on Sunday. She had a few recs (we were told repeatedly they were unnecessary on this campus) including the legacy info/rec I sent on my GLO. She's going in with a mostly open mind with the exception of one organization that an older girl from HS pledged and she plans to take a hesitant look at that one. Then they wait all week and recruitment resumes the following Friday and Saturday with bid day on Sunday.
She has met several times with her RG and feels comfortable with the process. This is the largest group of PNM's they've ever had. Her RG group is 38 girls and 2 RG's. Yikes! My advice is to go in with an open mind and let the system work as intended. She was given a recruitment booklet with information on each of the chapters and their philanthropies. I have encouraged her to take copious notes and form her own opinions. The book is collected and retained by the RG's at the conclusion of each day, but I see it as a fun memento to look back on in a few years.
Thanks for giving me a place to vent my stress and I'll try to update as I hear how things are going.
