Auburn University Rush--Fall 2007

[Soliloquy]

I was suprised to see so many people from my homestate on that list! Even more suprised when I recognized 3 of the names as little sisters of girls I knew! I called them and sure enough, those are their sisters. I didn't even know they were going through recruitment at Auburn! Well, it was a great excuse to catch up with 3 good friends

What a small world!

Just an update from this since I've now spoken to the girls and not just their sisters..

"Susie" got a bid from Delta Delta Delta
"Jane" got a bid from Gamma Phi Beta
"Beth" got a bid from Alpha Omicron Pi

All three girls recieved bids from their first choices!
Susie is incredibly excited and is already coming up with new color schemes for her bedding/decor to match her new home. haha!

Jane said she cried like a baby when she opened up her bid card! Everyone thought she was upset, but really she was just happy. She'll cry at a darn commerial (seen her do it...) so we got a laugh out of it.

Beth said she's gotten so many gifts from friends and family that her room looks like a shrine to AOPi! But she doesn't mind that one bit

-----
I ordered each of them something small, they should get it soon!

I wanted to let everyone know that Wareagle07 Daughter is having a blast as a DZ! She has made a new best friend with a member of her pledge class, and has even done her first DZ philanthropy (6:45am on a Sat. morning!). I think that it is OK to share her prefs with you at this time since I don't believe that any harm can be done. In order of preference the list went: DZ, DG, DDD. Something about those D's seems to have caught her fancy!

I have noted some things that have changed since I rushed in the mid-eighties:
1. We didn't get a pledge retreat.
2. We didn't get awesome Vera Bradley bags filled with handbooks and goodies. We got t-shirts and hugs!
3. We weren't required to do philanthropy.
4. Girls these days are gorgeous! Crest Whitestrips, foiled highlights, french manicures, and acutane didn't exist back in the day!

Anyways, classes have begun and she seems to like all of her classes, so with 16 credit hours I hope that she is able to balance everything. Thanks to everyone for the support and the kudos! Wareagle07 Daughter will make you proud!

Soliliquy,

I'm glad to hear your friend Beth joined the AOII family. She'll love it! I'm sure her room looks great in all red!

So... I arrived at the thread late and just now made my way through it all... 21 pages and counting.

Congrats to everyone and their new "homes"! I am so thankful that I didn't have this kind of recruitment... too much stress for me. But I would have loved the Vera bags at the end of the day.
