A Winter Olympics Recruitment!

I've been looking at recruitment stories on here for awhile, and finally decided to post mine! I go to a large school with a pretty competitive recruitment. We have 11 sororities on our campus.

I decided to name these sororities (in no particular order) after Winter Olympics events:
Hockey
Curling
Ski Jumping
Figure Skating
Alpine Skiing
Luge
Bobsled
Speed Skating
Snowboarding
Skeleton
Cross Country Skiing

On the first day of recruitment, we visited all eleven chapters. On day two, we could visit up to seven. Day three was pref and we could visit up to three chapters.

I also just really enjoy hockey. Perhaps her name is a red herring?

This is a great theme, because the events could really align well with "tent talk" reputations: "I was intimidated by the members of Figure Skating; they were so beautiful and put together, and I didn't think I'd want to have to live up to that expectation every day! I just wasn't sure I'd fit in...but everyone at Curling was so nice and I felt I could be myself."

The Curling house has the best GPA on campus, but the worst pants.

Indeed! With the debut of women's ski jumping, perhaps Ski Jumping is the newest chapter on campus. And bump ing takes on a new vibe at the Hockey house .... Skeleton and Luge attract and tend to recruit from a similar pool of PNMs. Alpine has been on campus from day one. It's a single letter chapter.

LOL. Bobsled supposedly has a lot of cliques within the chapter. And Snowboarding is the laid-back, "chill" house.

Now I really want to hear the real story! Bring it on!

The women at Snowboarding are really fun and pretty and nice, but they have had some issues with partying and marijuana use in the past. They have a wild reputation.

Or ... She is a Hockey legacy who found her home in another sport!

LOL Sciencewoman: Bobsled is a bit cliquey, and the fraternity they socialize most with tends to bust through bathroom doors.

I wonder if they are still trying to complete construction of all of the chapter houses before recruitment begins ...

OP, we are ready! : )
