Say Yes to the Sorority.

Day 3 Round 2.

L was really optimistic going into round 2. She was surprised that she was released from Nicole. She thought she had made a really good connection there. She was not surprised about Randy since she only met one member there. L fared better than most of the PNM’s. The releases were big as they were pushing the numbers to put more PNM’s in the weaker recruiting Chapter’s pool of women because of the colonizing chapter. I think the average girl had 6 chapters and L had a full schedule of 8. Her roommate was not as lucky and was cut hard. S kept only 6 and had 3 she didn’t like. S would be a perfect new member for any group but she is reserved. She is a legacy to Sarah has a great GPA and tons of activities. My heart was breaking for her.

Joan I really liked it today. I liked all the girls really bubbly. I liked the last girl. We talked about music and E News. I liked them better then yesterday.

Debbie They showed a boring slide show. The recruiter told her she cries every time she watches the video. I talked to a horizon girl they were nice I was just bored and wanted it to end.

Kaesha LOVED them. Had fun and one of the girls from the first day had her again. Today the VP came up to her so it sounds like they like her. The president came up on the first round. She said they laughed a lot and feels good there.

Pnina LOVED them. She said every girl she met she had a connection with. She said the door song was cute. L’s Aunt was a Pnina.

Mara I liked them better than yesterday. Really liked two of the girls I talked to.

Sarah This one continues to be a favorite for her. She feels like they are really down to earth girls next door type women.

Vera She doesn't know if she is so tired she can’t have a good time here or if there is just no connection. She continues to have this one late in the day. Lots of girls really like this house and she has 2 cousins that were in the Chapter at UofA. I will also note that she had to take a migraine pill prior to going into this chapter. L suffers from migraines and getting dehydrated is a trigger for her. She was trying her best to keep herself hydrated.

Dorothy She is exhausted and was glad this was her last party. It was a bust. The first girl was really quiet and L had to carry the conversation. The second girl was really awkward and kept looking around the room. The 3rd girl spent the remainder of the party talking about all the rumors about that chapter.

L ranked tonight:
Kaesha
Pnina
Sarah
Mara
Joan

She prefers not to go back to:
1. Vera
2. Debbie
3. Dorothy

I feel like this needs to be clarified. Releases or cuts during early rounds were not larger to accommodate the colonizing chapter. Arizona has used this recruitment model for years and for good reason. The heavy cuts early on help some girls from being "led on" by chapters they wouldn't get a bid from. This way, girls can spend time with chapters that are really interested in them. It was the same system when ADPi colonized as well. the system has worked well. More women get bids. And almost all chapters make quota. Pledge classes are close to twice the size they were before the new recruitment model.

That being said, I don't want anyone to think that they were dropped or cut because of the colonizing chapter. We are over the moon AXO is coming back to Arizona! Yes it is a very competitive atmosphere at times but, Every chapter at UA is spectacular!

It sounds like you are describing RFM, which just about every major campus uses at this point. I gathered that AXOrushadvisor was saying that RFM has been tweaked due to the colonizing chapter. I could be misunderstanding though.

Yes thank you. It is RFM. The early round cuts were comparable to the cuts made in 2012 at the U of A.

Yes. Exactly accurate.

ETA: there was no tweaking. Panhellenic follows RFM.

I read that as "twerking" and thought "I should hope NOT!"

Now I can't get the image of "rush twerking" out of my head.
