Since I picked up my recruitment packet from greek life today I thought that I would go ahead and start my story since I know how many people are addicted to this forum and because it's been pretty slow lately.
The packet made me somewhat nervous. The information sheet really doesn't ask for much information about you. Just your contact information really. The thing that really made me nervous was that there is a huge paragraph about how just because you sign up for informal recruitment doesn't mean you'll even be contacted by any groups.
Ok, so here's my background. I came to rush in the fall extremely excited about joining a sorority. I had a terrible experience, not because of the houses or the girls, but for other reasons. I was sick with who knows what which turned into larengitis on the FIRST DAY and lasted for the rest of the week. So here I am, standing in a room trying to talk over 300 girls and I can make almost no sound. It was terrible. I went to the health center and they gave me a prescription that was supposed to bring my voice back but it just dried out my throat and made me cough constantly. I didn't want to ruin someone's skit by coughing all the way through it, so I withdrew from recruitment. I was devistated. This was something that I wanted to do so badly, but I guess it just wasn't the time for me. Now I'm trying again, so wish me luck!
Ok, sorry this is so long, but I have one quick question, too. For fall I had recs to 16/18 houses. I put my name on the COB list so do you think that there is any chance that the houses who knew that they would be participating in spring rush would have kept my recs? I would feel so bad about asking people to write me another one, but UGA is so competative that I need recs. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
