Soliloquy's Fall 2007 recruitment

[ASUADPi]

First let me say YEAH to a recruitment thread even though it is only May. Seriously, you go through withdrawl. LOL.

Second, good luck with recruitment. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders.

Thank you for the replies ladies.

I met with a 2 alums and an active of 311 recently, and they gave me some wonderful advice about rush. They even practiced rushed me by asking some stereotypical questions and critiqued my answers! They want me to have a successful rush, even if I do not end up at their house, because they are so confident that I would be a great sorority woman. I know that this is by no means a guarantee that I will get a bid, but it felt great to have a bit of confidence placed in me. I think that I will not be nearly as nervous during rush now- due to their help! I'm so blessed to have such incredible friends

Oh! Come to find out, recommendations are not a big deal at my school and if I do not have any it will not hurt me- *whew*

I am very exicted now and simply cannot wait until for the rush period to begin! I certainly hope things will end in my favor and I find a home, if not than that is ok- but those sort of thoughts have not put a damper in my enthusiasm!

Good luck with recruitment!

(And I, too, am glad to see another rush thread...they're my favorite part of Greek Chat!)

Well recruitment for the fall has just become a lot more difficult to handle. A good friend of mine who literally just graduated and entered alum status in her sorority died 2 days ago. She was so excited about me going through and even wanted to write a rec for me. She told me that "the idea of you becoming my sister is thrilling!" This girl did everything possible to help calm my fears, and was one of the key reasons why I decided to rush. She was the epitome of a sorority woman and it breaks my heart that I won't be able to see her again.

I cannot imagine how hard it will be for her sisters during recruitment when they do the slideshow and read senior letters. If I make it that far in that particular house, I will be bawling with the rest of the girls.

I do not care if this post makes it obvious where I go to school, or who I am. I just know that this has deeply affected my views on recruitment and life as a whole. You really do not know if today will be your last day on Earth. So please, try to make each day count. <3

My chapter had a (founding) sister die just shortly before I joined. It's never easy for the sisters, but they did all tell stories about her. We still do a memorial walk for her and her foundation set up by her parents. No matter what happens as far as joining a sorority, I'm sure her sisters will be glad to know one more person who understands their pain.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your friend.
