Auburn University Rush--Fall 2007

UGAalum94 · #1 08-08-2007, 11:30 PM

I think being dressed up and ready to go probably keeps some girls who are disappointed at first with their results in rush longer. And since the groups who they go to may win them over, it really might make a big difference over all.

If you got your results, and then went back to the dorm and compared with everyone else and heard more tent talk, you might be more likely just to call the whole thing off.

Auburnmom, thanks for posting this thread, and I hope your daughter has a great recruitment!

I had 16 sororities to visit when I rushed, so I know how hard it is to keep them all straight, and how tough on the feet it is to tromp around to all of them in hot weather (and in cute shoes).

Also glad to hear that she's going with her gut rather than the group gossip.

Best of luck to she and her friends, and thanks for posting her story.

Go Ireland! Good luck to Kate and her friends

Kate will attend 12 parties in this round! She's so excited. I don't know yet which 12 she is attending and I don't have any information on her room mate/suite mate yet. Apparently she received her list and had a few seconds to send me a text message before she headed out to her first party. She told me she'd call me at lunch and let me know which 12 and I'll update more at that time.

Thank you all for your kind words of support and ufpiphi, you are correct, I am on "pins and needles" this week!

More information later in the day......

Wow, a full schedule! Looks like Kate's recruitment is going well and I wish her and her friends luck for the rest of recruitment.

Hello....

I just talked to Kate; she is still having a good time at rush, but I think she is beginning to get a little tired and I think the heat is getting to everyone! Tomorrow morning she'll find out how many parties she will be going back to and where she will be returning for round three (skit parties).

As mentioned a few times cutting from 12 to 6 sororities could be tough for some PNM's. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I'll update tomorrow....

As a northerner and a left coaster- I so appreciate the updates! I have a number of friends ( sorority alumnae) in the Auburn area and they are impossible to get any information from at this time.

Also, as a mom who has a daughter who went through recruitment I can appreciate how you are feeling. I think I was more nervous than my daughter and she only had 5 houses not the large numbers like Auburn!

Thank you for your time in communicating to all of us! I look forward to hearing Kate's results each day! Best wishes....

I wonder how many she got invited back to?

UGAalum94 · #15 08-11-2007, 12:31 PM

I hope it's good news!

(I think it would be really hard to write a real-time recruitment story unless by some odd chance a girl stuck with her earlier favorites all the way through.)
