University of Alabama Fall 2014 NPC Sorority Recruitment

update from one NY PNM: Was invited back to 12 for Philanthropy and 8 to skit -- looks like a full dance card, right? And for sure, she did not have rec to one of them

Not being argumentative, but you do not know for sure if she had a rec. Seriously.

Mine has 5....still has one of her two early favorites.

My "grade risk" is down to one and is contemplating withdrawing. I just heard from my NJ girl whom I had "no worries except for the whole OOS thing" --she had 12 for philanthropy and has 6 for skit -- she is "over the moon"-- still have not heard from my PITA girl ;-)

If you weren't there and heard it second hand, then yes, it's a rumor.

I vote for crazy recruitment rumor. And, hope for all involved it is!

This is my worst nightmare as a sleep deprived alum working the back room. Not sure is they use ICS or Campus Director, but either way it would be difficult to incorrectly move over 200 PNMs who happen to be your top list. I think at least one person with eyes on the process would catch it.

They were using ICS but switched to Innova last year. Is Innova the same thing as Campus Director?

Yes. Innova is the company and Campus Director is the product.

My daughter is having a good experience at UA so far! She's been lucky with a full party list thus far with only a couple of disappointments along the way. She's still very excited about her options & loves several of the houses on her list(which makes this momma happy!). I know big cuts are coming but am very hopeful in the process that she'll still be happy come Saturday morning! I have a silly question- she says they'll take her phone on Friday until voting is over. Does anyone know if they can let others (um, like her sister & I) know the 3 she's preffing before the parties begin? I'm not sure I can wait all day, lol!!!

I bet that story goes around every year, just rotating which chapter is the one to have made the mistake.

Somewhere in Tuscaloosa, 200 girls are telling themselves this. I mean, clearly, it's the only logical explanation as to why they're not going back today.

[Bamaalum]

Oh I agree! I don't really believe that the well oiled machine that is Alabama recruitment wouldn't catch a mistake like this! I thought it was worth mentioning because this particular rumor seems to be running rampant right now. I even heard it from a current j board member (which shocked me). All I know for sure is one of my PNMs said there was a delay in the getting the schedules this morning... then I started hearing about this little gem.

I don't think that Bama would have started the parties if PH or Chi O had discovered something gravely wrong.

[Sciencewoman]

^^^ LOL...that's the kind of rumor that falls into the classic category of a "system error" that explains "why I/my daughter/my legacy was not really cut from my/her favorite chapter."

[PearlGirl13]

My PNM has four invites including two of her early favorites. She is having a blast! I think two days per round allows for enough down time that she is getting some rest and relaxed socializing.
