JocelynC's friends recruitment thread @ Kent

[KSUViolet06]

Well I wasn't going to post this until later, but I'm going to hang out with my friend this weekend and we're going to catch up about alot of things, including recruitment and her experiences.

First off, I'm formerly JocelynC but I just changed my username to KSUViolet06- I don't want to confuse any of you!

We haven't talked for about a month because we go to the same school and since she was a PNM and I'm an active sorority member, we had to follow the silence rules.

Some background, she's a sophomore transfer and was looking to make friends and she certainly found some this past weekend at bid day.

She just finished rush and wanted me to share her experiences. As much as I'd love to do this all in one post, I am really busy so it'll have to be done in chunks.

There are 7 sororities that participate in recruitment, 6 NPC and 1 local:

Alpha Xi Delta
Alpha Phi
Delta Gamma
Delta Zeta
Sigma Sigma Sigma
Phi Gamma Pi (local sorority)
Chi Omega

Since we're all girls I figured I'd give the chapters designer fashion label names:

(note: these are not in order of the list above)

Gucci
Prada
Christian Dior
Louis Vuitton
Fendi
Chanel
Dolce & Gabbana

We've talked on the phone since bid night and we started sort of discussing the pre-recruitment events like Greek Info Night, here's a little of what she had to say:

Greek Info Night

Every sorority decorates a table with shirts/scrapbooks/lots of stuff and the PNMs spend 5 or so minutes at each table (in groups with their Rho Chi's) talking to the members and asking questions. After they've spent a certain amount of time with each sorority, they are free to leave their groups and walk around on their own and ask questions.

She was really excited to meet all the different groups. She has friends in Fendi and Chanel from classes and work, but she didn't know much about the other 5. She met her 2 Rho Chi's and they started walking around. Everyone seemed so nice! They answered all of her questions, no matter how many she asked.

It's impossible to have a fave at this point, but she said a few did stick out in her mind because of their philanthropies (some of which are close to her heart).

She also got the schedule of events for the next 2 weekends:

Saturday 9/10- Go Greek Day (visit all 7)
Sunday 9/11- Philanthropy/Financial Day (visit a max of 7- groups cut for grades)
Friday 9/15- House Tours (visit a max of 4)
Sunday 9/17-Preference (visit a max of 2)

So she was pretty pumped to "Go Greek" at this point! She was way excited to find sisters.

That's all for tonight. The next update will be of Go Greek Day!
