Rock Chalk! University of Kansas Recruitment

[jayhawksix]

I'm so excited to see this thread. I have a daughter who is a sophomore at KU. She is going through recruitment on the other side for the first time. Had a brief text last night she was exhausted. I think 13 parties is so many for all of the girls..wish is it was split into two days like it used to be.

Will be moving in my son this afternoon...Hope to hear a few porch songs as we drive through campus!

Good luck to Sunny! Sounds like she has her priorities straight

I can't wait to hear which chapter Sunny chooses. I enjoy the KC reference =)

Good luck to your recs! I know what you mean about getting your hopes up... Sunny liked her legacy chapter but it wasn't in her favorites. I was slightly disappointed, but have stressed to her that she doesn't need to love that house just because I do.

When the booklet came out this year and we saw the party schedule, Sunny about died. She's definitely not a morning person and 8am-1030pm makes for some long days. I can't imagine what it's like for the actives! I hope your daughter finds a home to love! Please keep us updated!

My thoughts exactly. Isn't sleep-deprivation considered hazing on most campuses?

Sounds like Sunny and her roomates are doing great! I'm anxious to hear how they like skit/house tour day. My favorite day by far!

My daughter is actually a first year active in a house. I probably was a little too vague trying not to give too much info away She is loving her new home and pledge class. I don't think she realized that the actives in the houses are just as nervous as the PNM when it comes to making a good impression.

D'oh! I just went back and re-read what you wrote and yes, you were pretty clear that she's on the other side for the first time

I think I was MORE nervous my first year as an active than I was as a clueless PNM. Probably because I was completely clueless about the whole process when I was a PNM so I didn't know I had anything to be nervous about!
