ADqtPiMel's sister's recruitment

[ADqtPiMel]

My little sister's recruitment experience starts this Wednesday. She attends Miami University in Ohio, which has 17 sororities. I've coded them with colors since I'm not creative enough to come up with 17 great code names.

red
orange
yellow
green
blue
purple
pink
lavender
tan
turquoise
gray
magenta
brown
black
gold
silver
white

Miami has a lot of pre-recruitment things in the fall, so she already has a few favorites (red, pink, turquoise, purple and brown), but she's been properly trained to keep an open mind. I'll try to keep this updated as best as I can.

First, I’m glad to see your sister’s attending Miami, she’s got good taste. Second, I’ll defiantly be watching this thread since the stories I hear from my friends about sorority recruitment are absolutely hilarious (mostly in a good way of course).

I agree; yay for an Ohio rush thread. Good luck to your sister!

As a former Oxford resident (and Recruitment Advisor to the Alpha Phi chapter) YIPPEEE! I love Miami recruitment threads!

The Leadership Consultant I am working with at Oklahoma arrives in Oxford tomorrow! I told her to make sure to get a toasted roll and hit Bagel & Deli

Yeah! Miami recruitment starts today!! I hope you/your sister posts an update.

Hooray for Ohio recruitments!!! Historically, ours has started today too with opening ceremony...but our new GL Adviser decided to press it back a week and start next week. We've had to scramble a bit, but it was decided b/c it allowed more time for girls to sign up.

Miami is a great school and has super strong Greek traditions (how many were founded there?!). I hope she finds a fabulous sisterhood to join. I see Miami has an ADPi chapter...hoping for a legacy?

Five GLOs were founded at Miami University.

1848 - FDQ
1855 - SC
1902 - DZ
1906 - FKT

The Miami Triad: Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi.

She is a legacy to two chapters on campus. I haven't talked to her yet - I think parties go on until like 8:30 or so. I'll post when I get an update.

[ADqtPiMel]

Okay, here's the scoop. She went to 7 chapters today.

Red - she really enjoyed them
Orange - didn't feel like it was the right one for her
Yellow - she also liked this one
Gray - she thought the president and recruitment team were really articulate, but she didn't connect with the girls she talked with
Purple - she really liked this chapter - it's one of her legacy chapters
Gold - she liked them today, but had a bad impression of a few members from pre-recruitment stuff
Silver - she really didn't connect with the girls here

So far, she's ranking them:
Purple
Red
Yellow
Gold
Gray
Silver
Orange

She has 11 parties tomorrow - one of them is a new Jewish local that I don't know anything about.

I scared to say anything - except that I'm sure your sister is getting wise advice, and hope that she gets a bid from the chapter she wants!

Yay, I can't wait to hear more!
