Hey y'all! Since I haven't seen a thread about Clemson's recruitment and it officially starts tomorrow I thought I'd combine it with my recruitment story so I don't have two dueling threads running. Clemson's recruitment schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, Aug. 20th at 8:30 PM: Pre-Recruitment Movie Social
Wednesday, Aug. 21st at 7 PM: Orientation
Thursday, Aug. 22nd and Friday, Aug. 23rd from 5-10:45 PM: Round One (Open House)
Saturday, Aug. 24th from 9 AM-2:15 PM and 5-10:15 PM: Round Two (Philanthropy)
Sunday, Aug. 25th from 9 AM-2:25 PM and 5:30-10:55 PM: Round Three (Sisterhood)
Monday, Aug. 26th and Tuesday, Aug. 27th from 5:30-11 PM: Round Four (Preference)
Wednesday, Aug. 28th at 6:15 PM: Bid Day!
Clemson's recruitment is a little different from other big recruitments in that since the chapters live in floors of Clemson-owned dorms that are spread all across campus, the rounds are held in the basketball coliseum and the student center with busing provided to get the PNMs from one party to the next should they need to change buildings. The first two rounds, as I understand it, are done in the concourse of the basketball coliseum with curtains dividing it into twelve different segments. I'm expecting the chants to be very, very loud since I'll be able to hear all twelve of them at once!
I don't know the number of girls going through recruitment this year (I asked one of the graduate assistants for Fraternity and Sorority life and she said well over 2000...I don't think she's right on that since we're not quite as large-scale as Alabama). Quota last year was 64 and the year before that it was 58. There is also an upperclassman quota but I do not know exactly how that is calculated. Registration ends tonight at midnight. Classes start on Wednesday night so the PNMs and actives are going to have a very busy first few days of school!
There are twelve NPC chapters at Clemson:
Alpha Delta Pi
Alpha Phi
Alpha Chi Omega
Gamma Phi Beta
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Zeta
Zeta Tau Alpha
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sigma Kappa
Chi Omega
I will henceforth be referring to them (in no particular order) as:
Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
I am a legacy to one chapter on campus and I do have recs for every chapter (assuming they were all sent in-there were a couple of women I just could not get a hold of for confirmation). I am an involved sophomore with a GPA well above the 2.70 minimum to go through recruitment so while I am not expecting a full schedule full of all my favorites every round I am confident that I will end up in a good home for me
I feel like I could be happy in any house right now and despite being frequently asked by my friends which chapters I am "aiming for" I do not have any favorites at this point. I will do my best to post daily updates on my own recruitment.
Good luck to all the chapters and PNMs and Go Tigers!
