I have signed up for recruitment and am really excited. I did make a dumb mistake that I guess anyone with little knowledge of sorority life can make. I know there are 4 sororities on my campus. Last week, I saw two girls wearing shirts that had the letters PX on them. They said hello to me and I started talking to them and then asked them what sorority they were in because I was not familiar with PX sorority and I never saw them listed on the school Greek Life website.
They didn't laugh at me but were very nice in explaining about recruitment counselors and what the do. They assured me that all this would be explained during Information Night which is this week on Thursday. I was so embarassed and I feel so stupid now.

I hope to get beyond this and am ready because Day 1 is on Friday of this week!

Also, I am starting to feel some stress over this. My roommate is a legacy to one of the houses and our other friend and her roommate all have ties to some of the chapters because of relatives and friends they have there. I'm the only one that doesn't know anyone since I'm not from the area.

Recruitment is not competitive at all at my school. It is very relaxed (from what I've been told).

Oh goodness, no need to feel stupid.

I've had PNMs ask me this all the time at info night before they have their orientation because they don't know what it is.

I made the same mistake! I worked with a Rho Chi on campus and asked her what sorority she was in and she very nicely explained what it meant. I was lucky to have worked with her prior to recruitment to learn so much about it going in - as it turned out, she was a Zeta!
