Auburn Pre-Recruitment

[AUAZD2001]

During recruitment in 2004 we had some freak weather. We woke up on the morning of Skit Day (August 14) and the temperature was 57.2! I had to wear a sweatshirt to the dorm! Also that year, we had to deal with outer bands of rain and wind from both Hurricane Bonnie AND Hurricane Charlie. There was major flooding on Auburn's campus which inclusded several chapter rooms and Parker Hall where Auburn's web server is housed (in the basement of the lowest building on campus- go figure!). The entire university website was down for several critical hours when panhellenic was trying to generate invitation lists.

Hey, back in the day, the rush computer ALWAYS broke down. It did at every school, I hear--but the year I was rushing, our RC had to wake us up at 3 AM with our invitations.

Seems like yesterday we were staggering from dorm to dorm in the Auburn heat...

Haha, I SO remember that! Remember parties being cancelled for like 6 hours during Philanthropy Day?!

Yea, I got called to confirm a rec that I filled out but forgot to sign. The caller left her number but gave me the wrong area code. Thank goodness for caller ID,

I wondered because she said today was the last day..

I adored that day. Because we all went upstairs to the hall and visited and ate food and watched movies. And a lot of girls took naps. I got to visit with some alumnae who were there whom I hadn't seen in a few years. It was quite lovely. I almost hope something like that happens again this year... Just Kidding.

Hurricane Ivan week was one of my favorite Auburn memories.

A huge tornado went over Funchess while I was in class there and nobody notified the folks in the building 'til it was all over. We just thought it was a bad storm.

Today is move-in day for the PNMs! I'm glad I'm not there! But I wish I could be there for prefs and Bid Day....

I wish I could be there for the Auburn Alpha Gam Bid Day!
