Almost64's Recruitment Thread (at an SEC school)

[FSUZeta]

alumnae are not supposed to interact with pnms during parties. if a sorority wants you badly enough, they will find a rec. for you,if they want to work that hard. it is an unspoken thing-you will not even know about it.

Thanks, Georgiagirl, that's good to know.


I knew that they would find you one if they wanted you bad enough. I was just afraid that at some groups; if they didn't know you in advance and you didn't have a great rec, then you might not make it to second round. I'm happy to hear that no one using recs to do releases.

Isn't it somewhat silly for the sororities at Vanderbilt to even think about recs? Vandy has become increasingly selective over the past dozen years and now is just a cut below the Ivy League schools in this respect. You would think that just being admitted to Vandy would be enough of a rec.

Now THAT'S silly.

Consideration shouldn't be based on academic record alone. Academic records/standardized test scores are just one part of the individual.

One could make that same claim about acceptance to a university. Schools like Vanderbilt look at extracurriculars, personal and academic references, personal essays, etc.

How did it go, Almost64? I read elsewhere that today is bid day. Did everything work out like you had hoped?

Good luck!

Hope things went the way you were hoping, Almost64.

My daughter has three friends at Vandy...two are TriDelts and one is an Alpha Chi.

Another bit regarding recs--when three girls from my daughter's HS class ended up preffing ZTA at UGA, the woman who wrote my daughter's ZTA rec called and asked me about them so she could supply recs before pref in case any of them were offered/took a bid. She was the alum "assigned" to our HS. (One of the three ended up a Zeta.)
