Hi after reading lots of SEC stories how about a sweet Big 10! I'm a mom writing (with permission from Kid) her recruitment story. I've posted before asking about Iowa so I'm just laying it out there. There are 14 sororities on campus.
Recruitment is divided into two weekends.
Weekend one: Day one and two are Meet The Greeks, day 3 Welcome Back
Weekend two: Day 4 Sisterhood, Day 5 Sisterhood Cont. Day 6 Preference , Day 7 Bid Day.
I will still use code names just to add to the mystery. 749 girls are going through this year. My daughter is very excited (she has recs to 5 houses I won't say which just to see how it plays out. I'll tell later... maybe!)
We start at Day 1 Meet the Greeks (visit 5 houses)
I'll call the sororities:
Junior Mints
Snickers
Reese's
Skittles
Milky Way
Kit Kat
Pay Day
Twix
Hershey
Almond Joy
Mounds
M & M's
Baby Ruth
Butterfinger
On day 1 Meet the Greeks.
Each house sent out two/three executive board members to greet the waiting girls (no cheering) The girls were lined up alphabetically and led into the house and met their "guide". Each house served water. (now I get the SEC Ice water round thing!) Kid said that it wasn't just boring H2O no, no, no each house did something fancy and fun. Fruit, frozen berries, ice cubes with mint etc. Kid thought it was cute and fun!
Visit list:
Kit Kat - First house and a lot of fun. The girls had cute matching outfits. Kid felt she had lots in common with these girls.
Almond Joy - Loved the t-shirts the girls had on. Liked that many house members were involved in intramurals.
Mounds - Liked the variety of girls in the house. Kid felt like she "totally fit in" Had many activities in common with the girls.
Baby Ruth - Girls were VERY DRESSY! fancy. Felt the girls in the house were very simialr to each other. She felt she was "passed off" quite a bit. But several members liked her involvement in school.
Reese's - Liked the girls matching tops. Didn't feel anything "special or stand-outs" here. House/girls weren't memorable.
More to come on round one as Kid goes through remaining 9 houses today!
PS. Kid is well versed in understanding how the RFM works and anticipates big cuts after this round. She is also not allowing herself to fall hopelessly in love with one house and really likes the entire greek system.
Hungry for more?
