My Fall Recruitment Story (2008)

[AMH129]

I was so excited to get started with rush. My roommate and I arrived at my school's Alumni Center anxious to get the week going. After checking in, we got a chance to walk around and meet the president of each sorority. Each sorority had a display board with information about their sorority. It was chaotic. Hundreds of girls were crowded around these eight different displays. My roommate and I just walked around and listened in on the conversations the presidents were having with other PNMs. When we arrived at Carol's display board, the president came up and introduced herself to us. She was rude: she shook my hand, looked me up and down, and walked away. This is when I started to get really nervous. I wasn't sure if I was going to fit in.

Eventually we all were called into the ballroom so the meeting could begin. The NPC president talked to us about how recruitment was going to work and introduced all of the Pi Chis. After the meeting I met my Pi Chi group: the Hawaiian Hotties. They were so sweet. We spent some time playing games and getting to know each other. I couldn't wait to get back to my dorm and go to sleep. I had such a long afternoon ahead of me...
