Symbal's Recruitment Epic!

Thanks guys! I AM doing COB and I visited a house tonight, the house I never got to go to the first week due to class conflicts and got along there really well, but I havea feeling COB will be harder than Formal rush!! You get to know them a lot better, and that makes things a bit...complicated? You know?

Yay- it's great to hear you're keeping at it! Especially since you couldn't meet everyone during formal recruitment. I'm not sure how informal recruitment is at your school, but it was definitely an "easier" process at our school. We also didn't have issues with reaching total, though.

Anyway, good luck!!

I kind of like it because it give me a better picture of what I'm 'getting into.' I know who they are a little more instead of the cookie-cutter visits. It would be the choosing part if I received more than one bid, you know? It's hard to choose.

I'm really hoping that you enjoy your experience. Fingers crossed.

I totally agree and hated COB. I fe.llt I knew kinda what to expect with formal after the first round, but with COB it was awkward, uncomfortable, and just weird although that was me...I hope yours is not like this and this thread has a happy ending!

Good luck with COB!

Symbal--

So glad to hear you are "back at it".

I hope your COB will be a less stressful time than your FR and you can concentrate on truly getting to know the members and vice versa.

GOOD LUCK!!

At UCF, jerseys with stitched letters are a popular initiation gift. A new member can buy her own jersey or wear one before she is initiated, but typically, she waits (b/c they're expensive and it's fun to get one as a gift and wear it on campus right after initation!). I think there may be some confusion about stitched letters-- JessXica, there is not a prohibition on them. I know Alpha Xi's and they're allowed to wear letters as new members andn this yes, you are allowed to wear jerseys. Stitched or screen printed: letters are letters and if anyone tells you otherwise, go talk to your adviser so she can clear up any urban legends that may be spreading.
