UNC - Chapel Hill Recruitment Story! :-)

Hi everyone!

Over the past month or so, I have become absolutely addicted to Greek Chat and I truly appreciate all of the helpful advice and stories that you have shared. So, to return the favor, I thought I'd share my experience as I prepare to go through rush this week.

Since, I have already given away my school on the "Who is rushing in Fall 2008/Spring 2009?" thread, I figured that it would be best to hold off on the details until after rush is over to avoid shooting myself in the foot, so to speak, or saying anything that could possibly hurt any chances that I may have.

I have taken to heart all of the advice that I have read in the stickied threads about PNMs, and am going into this experience with an open mind. I am a sophomore transfer and I know absolutely nothing regarding stereotypes or reputations about the chapters on campus (which I think is beneficial to keeping my options open). The school I went to last year was extremely tiny and did not offer Greek Life, so this is very much a new experience for me.

Last night was our Recruitment Kick-Off and I had a blast I enjoyed hearing a little bit about each sorority and their corresponding philanthropies. I was surprised to hear so much "tent talk" this early on in the game. So many girls seemed so sure about where they wanted to go (or didn't want to go) and immediately dismissed certain chapters based on hearsay. As I said earlier, I really want to go into this with an open mind. Every sorority has attributes that make them special, so I don't want to dismiss anyone without seeing for myself first.

Tonight, we meet with our recruitment groups to discuss further details that were not mentioned at the kick-off. I'm so nervous and excited for the process to begin! I promise to provide updates and will post later with those dreaded code names!

Finally, I will share the complete story after bid day! Thanks for reading!

Ooooooo, and I am such a fan of UNC and the town of Chapel Hill! (Wish I was on Franklin Street right now.)

Can't wait.

I just got back from my recruitment group meeting. Most of the information and advice that was given tonight was similar to many things I have read on Greek Chat so I have all of you to thank for preparing me so early on! We have to make our own nametags, so I will be spending a good amount of time making sure mine stands out from the crowd. It's raining like crazy outside... lots of thunder and lightning as well. I'm so glad I made it back to my dorm in one piece! The first round begins on Friday afternoon, so wish me luck!!! The story will continue after Bid Day on September 4th (assuming I make it that far!! eeek!)
