my fall recruitment story!

[sairston1874]

So, I really enjoyed reading a lot of other recruitment stories, so I thought I'd tell my own.
My school has 7 NPC sororities and no locals. I'll use characters from Gilmore Girls as the code names.
Lorelai
Rory
Lane
Sookie
Babette
Miss Patty
Emily

Obviously, we do fall recruitment, which is 2 weeks after school starts, so we don't have to wait too long. However, we have strict silence during those two weeks, basically, PNMs are not allowed to talk to any sorority women and are discouraged from talking to any fraternity men.

I never thought myself as a sorority girl. I had been off and on about going through recruitment all summer. Finally, my mom told me I should at least go through since I would meet a lot of people. I could not be a legacy because my school does not have a chapter from her organization on campus.

I finally got a call from my Gamma Chi during the first week of school. Her name was Sasha and she was super nice and helpful. Our group and her partner's group were going to the football game that weekend and then to an all greek event the next week.

Before recruitment started, I knew I really liked Lorelai, Lane, and Sookie. I had recs for Lorelai and Lane. I knew several girls from each of these three organizations, either from high school or summer programs for freshmen.

Finally, the first day arrived. It was Open House night and the dress was dressy casual. Mostly sundresses or cute skirt/shirt combos. I got ready and headed to the auditorium where all the PNMs, Gamma Chis, and Panhellenic Exec were meeting before the parties started at 5.

We had a basic session of what to expect going through, what the rules were, and what your gamma chi was there to do.
Finally, that was over, and it was time to head across campus to the houses.
