Hello, I'm the Doctor! A Fall '12 Recruitment Story

My hand shot up to talk to my pi chi, and I joined the small stream of girls leaving the auditorium because they were also unhappy about their pref night parties. When my pi chi couldn't get through to me, she brought over one of the panhellenic women (we'll call her the Doctor) to talk to me-- she made me commit to going to Rory's party, and then I would call her right after and she would come talk to me. We went to the bathroom to dry my eyes and touch up my makeup, and I joined the line for Rory's party.

They don't tell you who invited you to pref until right before the parties begin? Yipes. That's kind of crazy inconsiderate.

But at any rate, congrats on Phi Mu!!

I have heard of this more and more every year. It seems like they must be doing it to encourage the girls to go to the parties whether or not they like their results--"hey, you're already dressed, why not go to the parties anyway?"

But it's getting awfully close to forced prefs, which I loathe.
