hahahahaha what a great expression! it reminds me of catherine called birdy

but recruitment, please stop being so mysterious and finish your story soon, it's getting harder and harder to keep track, especially since your posts are so detailed.

Wouldn't it be just a kick in the pants if they all decided to drop out of rush in the end and start a local?

I don't know that non retro recruitment threads have even gone on for 19 pages..except for maybe that one about the girl who started the local at Santa Cruz after not getting in to a NPC.

I think her point was as archaic as an alumna calling a chapter to "force" them to change their mind about cutting a member is, it still happens on campuses today that aren't necessarily as competitive as an SEC or other large schools. Not that the OP's thread is about Iowa State.

But if you take away the posts that question whether the OP is real, the posts that beg for more story and the delightful tangent on intarweb bitch fights, the thread would be more like 6 pages.

The "phone calls" Callie referenced plus the fact that she was so certain that she would end up at Vail have me strongly thinking that she was a legacy there. (A "big" legacy.)

I'm guessing that someone's mother/grandmother/other close female relative was on the horn behind the scenes.

(Though I'm curious to hear just why it was that Callie "had" to make it all the way to prefs with Taos? Did she want to get through prefs b/c she planning to still list Vail on her bid card? Was a family member trying to arrange for her to be on the bid list even though they cut her? Very interesting...)

I think I've figured out Callie's "thing"

She's a man, baby!

(sorry, but this thread is making me really punchy, and I was picturing a big loud cowgirl....)

If you had a son who had a sex change and then went through recruitment, would they be a legacy?

That's something I've never even contemplated before.

But I suppose they would be considered a legacy...after all, its not like our IHQ/HQs keep lists of our daughters/granddaughters/siblings for verification. They just take either the kid or the alumnae's word for it when the time for recruitment comes. Technically, XYZ sorority might never know that Stephanie was born Stephen, unless someone chose to reveal it to them.

I think most doctors won't do sex changes on 18-year-olds, so someone with a sex change is unlikely to be a rushee. I know, there are older rushees, but it seems like an unlikely situation.

lol. LionTamer got me wondering. If Callie was once a man could she still be a legacy. lol. I doubt there's ever even been a situation of this, because we'd at least hear a rumor about it. lol.

I love this thread. I'm seriously picturing it all like a movie.

If you got a sex change later in life, would you have to renounce membership?

I don't know about other states, but I do know that the state of Texas has had a "State Homecoming Queen" for over 20 years. That made me think that it could be the Bush twins, as one went to UT (Texas) and the other went to Yale and maybe the "thing" was all of the Secret Service coverage...but they weren't petite, blonde cheerleaders. I think that Laura was a Theta and both Barbara and Jenna also pledged Theta.
