Better Late Than Never...My Philly Fall '08 Recruitment Story
I've always wanted to share my story, unbiased. I want to post it since its still somewhat fresh in my head. Of course schools pretty much over for me haha. It has a happy ending 
So I'm a freshman, and I got moved in by a group of girls in a sorority. Let's call them the Phillies (I go to school in Philadelphia haha, deal with my Philadelphia references). They all seemed so pretty and nice, and pointed to me their pin and told me to rush them in a few weeks. So I went into formal recruitment definitely biased.....
Here are the 5 sorority code names we have on our campus:
Franklin
Liberty
Phillies
76ers
Rocky
And here are our Rounds:
Round One: Meet and Greet - 5 houses
Round Two: Philanthropy Night - 4 houses
Round Three: Pref Night - 2 houses
Bid Day
We'll see what happens.....

I'm rooting for Franklin, because now every time I hear him mentioned, I think of that episode of The Office...lol

That's what I thought at first, but I think she means they had buttons that said "I Love XYZ" or something like that.

jetage, I've got a feeling that my son will be headed to your school this fall and I can never figure out schools in these stories. Please, keep sharing but remember discretion!

I'm dumber than a post at figuring out schools, and I got this one immediately. At least she had the brains to not match the colors with all the houses.
Future rush story writers (current or retro): there are LOTS of Pennsylvania people on this board. Use an extra lump of discretion.

Too late for that.

We just stood in the back and munched on their food and avoided talking for the last 20 minutes we had to be there.
