Retro Recruitment.....with a different ending

[FSUZeta]

i agree faith-nowadays with the strict hazing rules, these activities would be considered hazing.

when i was a pledge, we had wooden crowns that we had to get signed by every initiated sister. some sisters just signed them when asked, others asked us a few zta related questions, some wanted us to visit with them before they would sign their name. it was a way to get the pledges to get to know every girl in the chapter-no harm was done by requiring us to get those signatures. we also had to learn everyones name, hometown and major and were tested on that. those activities would be considered hazing if todays hazing rules are applied.

oh, there was a deadline to get all the signatures and then our big sisters took the crowns, decorated it, had sisters we were close to write a brief message on on of the 5 tips and we got it back as an initiation gift. i think that zta new members are really missing out on a good experience.

We had a wooden key. I thought it was a good way to meet everyone, but I guess I was just being hazed.

Yeah, everyone in the story that I remembered isn't there anymore... and I think that's why I enjoyed it. A stroll down memory lane, haha.

And yes, I do remember you! Not necessarily from recruitment but definitely from informal recruitment
