InCursive's Recruitment
So, last fall I went through formal recruitment and after a long time spent lurking this forum I've decided to share my story.
I go to a mid-sized university where Greek life is about 20% of the student body but is growing really quickly. I'm a member of a large greek family, and a legacy at one of the chapters on campus. I was very wary about greek life because I am definitely not a likely candidate, but I decided to give it a shot anyways, what harm could it do?
At the time I was going through recruitment my school had nine chapters on campus and one that was looking to colonize. For the purposes of anonymity I will be calling myself Alice, and code-naming the chapters after minor Wonderlanders:
Caterpillar
Cheshire Cat
Dodo
Duchess
Gryphon
Mad Hatter
March Hare
Mock Turtle
Red Queen
White Rabbit
Our recruitment takes place over one weekend and goes like this:
Thursday: Recruitment Orientation
Friday: Round Robin, 10 parties
Saturday: Philanthropy, 7 parties
Sunday: Invitational, 4 parties
Monday: Pref, 2 parties
Tuesday: Bid Day
Obviously this isn't a live story so check back soon for night one!
