I go to a state school in the Midwest and I am not from the immediate area, so I had to make all new friends. I was a freshman last year, and I didn't have time to go through formal recruitment in the fall.I regretted it all semester, so I decided to go through informal in the winter semester. To make a long story short, I checked out two chapters and didn't click with either of them. I've been slowly getting more excited about the idea of going through formal, so I decided I would give it a shot! I met the recruitment chairs for two different sororities (that I haven't met yet) by chance and they told me all about it and that they would love to get together for coffee with me before recruitment begins. So I know this was a really long intro, so sorry and congrats if you made it this far!!

We have 9 sororities on our campus. For them, I will be using some of my favorite TV shows. The code is totally random and does not correspond to any particular house!

Firefly
America's Next Top Model
Stargate: SG-1
Glee
The Tudors
Greek
Scrubs
Pretty Little Liars
Pokemon

The schedule of days is spread out over about two weeks.
Day 1: Kickoff
Day 2 & 3: Chapter Rounds
Day 4 & 5: House Tours
Day 6: Preference
Day 7: BID DAY!!

I'll try to post it live, but no promises!!

Correct me if I am wrong, but the bold part screams RECRUITMENT INFRACTION!

Just sayin'

Really? I wouldn't want to be a part of dirty rushing or whatever, but it's before recruitment...so... maybe?

Also another thing that is questionable: I have friends in a sorority that I went through informal with last semester, and they are telling me some secrets about recruitment... is this bad??

Both the scenarios you've outlined make me uncomfortable. BUT - I'm not a student at your school, nor a participant in your system.

People talk; I don't know "secrets" about recruitment, but I hope they are not discussing membership selection with you. THAT is verboten.

I'd be very discreet and careful about my behavior and my actions. I would not want to be the one that was made an example of, should someone decide to cry "foul."

In the meantime, I'm hoping for a great ending to your story.
