University of South Carolina Recruitment 2013

[MissCocky]

I know the path to a healthy adulthood should not be limited to a comfy, cozy cul-de-sac, however, I would have preferred this recruitment experience for my DD in the spring. She has been very positive about this process, her small classes (bet. 18 - 34 students), her impressive instructors & her darling suitemates. Having no sorority experience myself, I hope she can nurture these new relationships as well as those w/her PNSisters. Can you tell she's my first one in college?
I appreciate the good wishes sent to the girls & moms.

I've seen it both ways. For lessons on the problems with spring or what we call deferred formal Recruitment check out the SMU or Indiana recruitment threads. For recruitments as huge as the SEC, before classes start or early on is not only more sane, it conflicts with school less. There is also less time for hurt feelings.
- she'll still be friends with the suitemates even if they pledge other sororities

If she has that small of classes, I would guess that Greek life will be a welcome addition if it works out, but not social suicide if it doesn't. With that sort of college, not everyone digs it and it's probably in the college's, chapters' and rushees' best interests to postpone rush to second semester to make sure the school itself is a good fit. Sorority life can help a lot of things, but if the biggest social event is going to Denny's every Friday when you are expecting a Big 10-type pleasant maelstrom of activity Greek life can't fix that.
