Hello, All! I've been a lurker here for quite the while (it helps me through long, unproductive days at work) and I finally registered and I wanted to share in all the wonderful recruitment thread fun(Unless ya'll don't want to hear it, in which case let me know, until then I'll post away
), since I've learned so much(Southern recruitment is so Different from ours!) and have been so entertained...
I'll be posting the first installment in the story soon(today hopefully), but I thought to start it out I'd give you the background story
.
Ok, I attend a mid-size state university in the Midwest. Greek Life here is VERY active, with 11 NPC sororities and 12 IFC fraternities (As well several NPHC groups). Last Fall(2007), I was an incoming freshman and I knew I wanted to go Greek.
I think it's important for me to note that, I'm the first in my immediate family to attend university, let alone go Greek, so I didn't know anything going in.
Also, the timeline here is important, I think. My schools Formal recruitment takes place in the fall, but it isn't before school...it's during! Like, classes start in late august and formal takes place Mid- to Late September. The weekend before classes is welcome back! with booths to meet all the RSO, including a Meet the Greeks-type booth. So along with that and the active social scene, I had met a lot of sorority girls before recruitment(My best friend's older brother is in a Fraternity here, and that's pretty much the only place we'd go out to, since we knew alot of the guys already and they looked out for us not to get in trouble)
So...I'm naming my groups after famous royal mistresses(i'm a history geek and they are some of the most interesting people
) Here they are...
Nell Gwynne
Louise de Kérouaille
Bessie Blount
Camilla Parker Bowles
Diane De Poitiers
Barbara Villiers
Madame De Pompadour
Maria Walewska
Lola Montez
Madame Du Barry
Alice Keppel
So...sorry for the long introductory post. But I'm working on the beginning of the Actual story.
