Auburn University Recruitment - Fall 2010

[southbymidwest]

Totally agree with katmandu and 33girl. But aren't most dorms these days non-smoking? I know, I know, the smoke still clings to hair, skin and clothes, and stinks up the dorm room. Yuck.

I will also say that I knew a decent number of girls who lived "sheltered" lives before they went off to the big school (but not all, obviously), who, after a few weeks, decided to let their wild child out, because they could. They proceeded to drink anyone under the table with that bleacchy 3.2 beer, and while they were under that table, screw anyone under there too. Then there were the girls who found a boyfriend after 2 weeks and always had the joker in the room. This was 30 years (oh God no, it can't be!) ago. Some things never change. She will figure it out. But like everyone said, it wouldn't hurt for HER to talk to the RA soon to find out what her options would be, and any deadlines, just in case she finds that she is in an untenable situation with her roommate.

^^^ Hahaha! And it happened more than 30 years ago too! What is it they say--"the more things change, the more they stay the same"?

What you said about 'and while they were under the table...." would be referring to half the girls in the next dorm over.

Just finished our Skype call with Emma.

She seemed mentally exhausted after two days of recruitment.

Prioritizing her choices was difficult because she didn't really feel like she disliked any of them. She mentioned the fact that each of the groups had such similar chapter rooms and they all wore very similar style shirts, and this made it more difficult to remember each group. To help, she just started writing down a numerical ranking between 1 -10 as soon as she left each party. Today, her favorite group received a 9 and her least favorite group rated a 5.

She also mentioned that if she didn't get invited back to the Diamondbacks she would be disappointed, but would still feel good about most of the others.

She told me that she would text me after she meets with her Pi Chi in the morning.

When I hear from her, I'll try to get you an update.
