Petals' Recruitment Story at Penn State (finally!)
Hi everyone 
After reading recruitment stories since AUGUST, I’d say I’m finally ready for it to be my turn! Tonight was my first info session, and although recruitment doesn’t actually start until the 22nd, I’m just so excited for things to finally get started that I thought I’d start my thread now (hope you guys don’t mind the wait  ).
Like I said, tonight was a basic info session about Greek life at Penn State. Even though I already knew most of the things they went over because of this site, I was kind of nervous when I realized how many freshmen there really were (I’m a sophomore). It seems that recruitment is a little more laid back up here, though, and I’m hoping that my class standing won’t hurt me too much.
We have 20 national chapters and over 700 women to going through recruitment this semester. The chapters arrrrrre:
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Omicron Pi
Alpha Phi
Alpha Sigma Alpha
Alpha Xi Delta
Chi Omega
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Gamma Phi Beta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Phi Mu
Pi Beta Phi
Sigma Delta Tau
Sigma Kappa
Sigma Sigma Sigma
Zeta Tau Alpha
I’m going to try and be as discrete as possible, so I’ll just say that I have some factors working in my favor— some recs/people in different chapters rooting for me/knowing what’s going on thanks to GC— but I’ll *definitely* be biting my nails until bid day.
I suppose that’s all for now… I’m just so excited to get started with recruitment, so if you guys have any advice or questions, let me know!

Have fun and can't wait to hear all about it!

PSU threads have to be one of the most exciting, for the sheer number of sororities, if nothing else! petals, I hope you make it even more exciting with a great recruitment - and we'll try to be understanding about your discretion!

Yes! A PA thread! I'm looking forward to this one, there are so many from which to choose. Do you know about how large the quota has been in the past?

Good luck! I will root for my friends in the Syracuse Triad since there isn't an AGD chapter. No matter where you go, I am hoping for a great time and good result for you!!

A rush thread with Penn State and ASA. Think I've died and gone to heaven.
Penn State rush is HELL on both sides - the PNMs have 20 "open houses", then 14 1st rounds then 7 2nd rounds then 3 prefs. (if you go to the maximum number of parties, that's 44 parties!) You're tromping up and down hills (the dorms with the sorority suites are set on a VERY steep hill), and spending a LOT of time attending parties (not to mention all the time you spend obsessing) and trying to keep track of everywhere you've been and who you've met.
The sororities have it almost as bad - they have to sit through 44 parties and 3 long late-into-the-night rounds of selections (and Penn State uses NO photos and NO resumes, mind you).
On the positive side, with 20 national sororites, then no matter if you're shy or loud, preppy or eccentric, if you keep an open mind, you're bound to find some group where you fit right in.
Good luck Petal, and ENJOY!!!

What do you mean that Penn State uses no photos or resumes? Do you mean that photos and resumes aren't submitted with the recruitment applications? Surely the individual sororities still use photos and resumes as part of the recommendation process, if they so choose. (Even if that isn't as common as in other parts of the country.)
