Delaware Recruitment Thread!

[texas*princess]

...during the kind of recruitment that I'm most familiar with, actives were not allowed to talk to pnms during that week.

How does it work for the schools that have one 'open house' round, and the rest of the rounds a month or two or three down the road? Are they allowed to talk to pnms during that period between the open house round and the other rounds?

I'm just curious since I didn't go to a school that did it this way.

I'm pretty sure we're still allowed to talk to the actives and stuff. This was very informal, so we weren't really informed of any "rules" or anything of that sort.

Very fun thread -- my best friend from high school went to UD - it's such a pretty campus. Sad to see the Stone Balloon is gone (was it still there when you were a freshman?)

True Delaware story: I had to call Encyclopedia Britannica to get something sent to Dover back in the day when FedEx didn't deliver everywhere.
Me: Hi, I need that sent FedEx to the Dover Mall
EB: I don't think FedEx ships to Dover.
Me: I'm sure they do - it's the state capital.
EB: State capitol? Of what state?
Me: Uh, Delaware.
EB: (indignant) And what state is Delaware in?
Bad enough from the general public, but scary from people at an encyclopedia company....

But enough with the Delaware stuff ---- good luck with recruitment, sounds like you're approaching it with a great attitude.

This is much like the multiple American companies who try to send things to my aunt by international shipping because she lives in New Mexico.

There was no awkwardness, and the conversation just naturally flowed. This was definitely my favorite house so far that I visited, but I don't want to get too "set" on one chapter before formal.!

Congrats to you and Theta! Go Fly a Kite!

Yay for another Theta happy ending! I'm so excited for you - and for Theta! Enjoy the new member period.

In a world full of people, only some learn to fly!

congrats bluehens!

[schnocks]

ADPi is having an open house tomorrow evening from 5-7 in the Trabant University Center. A few of my chapter sisters are going ... I won't be able to go, but I'm hoping it all goes well! It'll be exciting to have a chapter so close to Villanova.

[BlueHens213]

Yes I got that email...I meant to put in the post that I hopefully will be able to attend that!

[nittanyalum]

Sounds like you had a good time, BlueHens, that's great! February seems SO far away, but I'll look forward to hearing updates again then. Still pullin' for Mike!

Shame on Monica. We always stressed that you never spoke of the 3 Bs: Booze, Boys and Bars

[violetpretty]

I learned 6 Bs:

Booze/Bars- self-explanatory
Boys- self explanatory
Bitches- (i.e. no catty talk about other girls or other chapters)
Bibles- religion
Ballots- politics
Bank- (i.e.flaunting your money--bad--but be able to talk about dues if asked)

How are booze and bars different? We learned 4 B's- Booze, Boys, Bible, and Bank.

[Benzgirl]

Because in Ohio, you can't legally get into a bar until you are 21. Those who are under 21 still booze it in the dorm rooms and houses (illegally, of course)
