Indiana University 2014 Recruitment

Those cuts are deadly. My note to the girls going through - DO NOT TAKE THESE CUTS PERSONALLY. I know it sucks and it's hard to accept, but the chapters have to make massive cuts. Just because you might not have made the cuts at some of your favorite chapters doesn't mean they didn't like you; it just means they liked more girls than they had spaces for. Chin up, keep hydrated, this is no time for partying or anything else that isn't eat, sleep, rush, and be supportive of one another. Good luck!

Wow, I just can't even imagine having to pick only 3 chapters out of 12. That is a huge drop. It's almost a disservice to the girls and the chapters as neither really gets to know each other well enough. :/

But do I understand the parties are longer? So they can mix convo and skit in 1 party. I definitely feel for them. If it was back in my day, I'd be sending those girls a couple bottles of something to pass around after the parties! But laws, jail, blah blah blah. I guess I won't

Bahahaha you crack me up

According to campus sources 1616 women checked in tonight AND Very Bradley Company provided the small quilted ID/holder change purse wallets for all of the PNMs. There is a correlation between IU's Kappa Delta chapter and someone big at Vera Bradley. KDs help me out here.

Vera Bradley also sent gifts to all the sorority houses.

That was very nice of Vera Bradley to do! Not to mention a great marketing tool. If you give me the wallet and I really like the print, I might buy the backpack or purse at a later date.

Hope you're surviving FR!

So far so good, but I have to admit, even though I like our skit, after the fourth viewing I stopping going into the dining room to watch. Not sure how the actives are going to stay looking interested by the 24th viewing!!!

Sorry I had to laugh! I remember having to be in those skits...luckily I only had to do it 15 times. :-) Doing anything like that 15 times is painful, I cannot (and do not) want to imagine 24 times.

I did a little quick math, if all 1616 girls attended preference (which we know they won't, but it would be nice if they did) and IU did quota/total not bed rush, quota would be 76 women. Those would be manageable new member classes.

1/11/13:
Unfortunately the campus sources who advised that IU PNM's were given Vera Bradley items (at check-in Thursday evening or any time since then) were incorrect! Checked with my daughter who is a PNM and no such luck!

Patricia Polito Miller, one of the two founders of Vera Bradley, is an initiate of the KD chapter at Indiana.

I think you mean more like recruitment epics or recruitment sagas...The Odyssey has nothing on this.

LOL, yes....epics, dramas, sagas! Which will be especially true with the party modifications because of weather.
