Hey actives - I'd love to know 1.) what are you doing for recruitment this year (skits, themes, new stuff you are excited about!) and 2.) How is it going?
Best of luck to all my sisters - please know that alumnae are hoping and praying you are able to CONNECT.IMPACT.SHINE. and get some great new Gamma Phis!
Love in IIKE!

I'm bumping my own thread, because I will be out of the country for the most exciting time for recruitment, darn it. Please someone post results here, so I can catch up when I get home.
Go Gamma Phi!

Recruitment camp for Eta Chapter at UC Berkeley starts in a week and recruitment is the week after so I'll be sure to keep you posted. I'm co-skit chair and we are doing a medley of song/dance pieces (with lyrics redone to fit Gamma Phi Beta). We're doing a sort of "Gamma Phi Through the Decades" skit with music from the 50's-90's. It should be cute =)
I'm also in charge of redoing our front yard and planting flowers- I'm hoping to get impatiens, primroses and coral bells to line our front yard with.

I'll let you know more as soon as I find out!

According to the Auburn University Recruitment result list, the Auburn chapter took 62 new members, which I think was the largest pledge class. Way to go Gamma Phi!!!

Anyone know the results at Oklahoma?

I counted 44 in the photograph. Is that this year's new pledge class?

OU Gamma Phi met quota of 69 plus 6 quota additions for a total of 75. I am happy to say that my daughter is a brand new member and it was her favorite house from the start!

Hooray for you and hooray for your daughter!

I'm glad you instilled her with such good taste.

Bama recruitment is going AWESOME! Today is Bid Day. They get their bids at 5 p.m. CST. I will post tonight with details!

Actually, I was never in a sorority in college (it was the early 70s, man), but I found this forum when my daughter decided to go through rush at OU. It was very helpful. She went into rush with a completely open mind and no bias towards any sorority and was not even sure if being Greek was going to be right for her. She called me during her lunch break on open house day because she was so excited about the Gamma Phi house and that it was her favorite so far, but she would have to see how the rest of the houses were. Although she had some minor disappointments in the early cuts from houses she thought she would like to know better, she maintained a positive focus on the houses inviting her back and had a great time making new friends. She never seemed stressed and on pref day received invitations from her top two houses and liked them both so much that she said she would accept a bid from either. Having met the young ladies at Gamma Phi on Bid Day, I think she made a great choice and really found a house where she fits.

oumom, I'm still glad to hear you're so happy for your daughter. I bet it's nice knowing she has a built in group of friends at school now.

I just heard from kk_bama and she has good news, but I am going to let her post it!

And I wish she'd get here and post it!!

Quota was 73.

Gamma Phi took in 65 women, and I believe that by tonight the number is about 70-73 women!

They are an absolutely BEAUTIFUL group of new members. I am so proud of the chapter and their hard work!
