My live recruitment story, Spring 2008

So obviously I am at a university in Florida, attending a pretty big school. Next week they are beginning an informal Spring Recruitment for women who were unable to rush in the fall to get to know the sororities better and ask questions. Unfortunately not all of the sororities are accepting new members right now so I'm not sure which ones are participating. I am not concerned about finding the most 'popular' sorority to join, so of course I wouldn't be bummed if ABC wasn't accepting new membership. I'm trying to find one that I would feel completely comfortable being myself in.

Wish me luck!

Consider all invitations and decide if you could call it "home". If it doesn't fit you, you will know. But, the longer you go on through school, the harder it is at an SEC school to receive a bid.

Good luck on your invites!

I got an email from one of the chapters that is participating in spring recruitment inviting me to come to the house tonight for a get-together. I'm really excited because I really enjoyed talking to the girls last night...We'll see how it goes!

OMG everyone, so the first event was tonight and it was fabulous! I was so nervous because I came alone. I chatted with a lot of the girls for about 2 hours and they took me on a tour of their house. There's another event tomorrow night.

Can't wait!

Glad you had fun, FlaGirl!!

I'm glad you have the opportunity to see firsthand that "popularity" of a chapter isn't everything, and it certainly is not the only indicator of a strong sisterhood.

It's great that you had a good time. At the end of the day, it's the GIRLS that make a chapter, not how "popular" it is. And really, "popularity" is relative. It varies depending on who you ask. It's also something that could change from year to year. And it does not indicate how strong the sisterhood is. I'm glad you can see that.

Sisterhood trumps popularity anyday. Popularity won't pick you up in the middle of the night if you've had too much to drink at the bar and you know you can't drive home. But Sisterhood would be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
