OSU Orientation

[AlphaFrog]

Recs are a way for an alum (or current member if that sorority allows it) to in a sense "vouch" for the fact that a woman would make a good sister. It's ususally extremely helpful if the person writing it knows the PNM, and can give some insight to what that person is like outside of the formality of Rush. It's also a way that sorority members can "get to know" a PNM before she ever walks through the door. If they see on a Rec that Patty PNM is an avid golfer, they can match her with a Rusher who is also a golfer. It's also a way to introduce a legacy to a chapter.

In September there is a informational of all student organizations. Since they are tearing down the Union I'm not sure where it will be, but the groups will be there.

I used to be a Chapter Adviser but now I work with the Alumnae Chapter here in Columbus. If I can give you any help, please let me know!

Good Luck!

Good luck to your daughter--Rush/Recruitment is a great way to meet a lot of nice people, even if she ultimately decides sorority life is not for her. If nothing else, it will get her to parts of campus that she might not otherwise visit. (For anyone who hasn't seen OSU--it's huge, space wise and people wise....)

You may actually know far more greek women than you think! Let people at work, church, beauty shop, friends of friends, other parents in your HS, teachers in your school system, know that your daughter might go through recruitment at OSU. There are a lot of active sorority women in Ohio--with so many colleges in the state having greek chapters. Once you get the word out, you may be surprised how many contacts you find. If your friends and associates are not greek, their friends and colleagues might be.

I'm in Cincinnati, if you are in the area, you can pm me.
