University of Alabama Fall 2014 NPC Sorority Recruitment

[Loyally Kappa]

Backing up to the topic of chapters soliciting recs ... I've never heard of that happening at Alabama. However, I do know that one year, a young lady who I had taught as a 7th grader was going through recruitment at one of the smaller universities in Alabama (not Auburn). I used to teach at a small rural school where few of the students went to college, much less were involved in a GLO.

A friend of mine from in my town, who had been an ABC at Auburn called me late on a Friday evening to ask me about this young lady, who I really hadn't thought of in years. (I had taught both her and her younger sister by this time, and was acquainted with the parents). I assumed that the ABCs at that small university were trying to establish who to invite back for Prefs on Saturday. This is the only example of a solicited rec that I have ever known about.

You sound like you are talking about my hometown or any of the other small towns in the counties surrounding Coffee, and Troy University (maybe even AUM). I'm a Troy alum and quite pleased with the amazing growth they are experiencing. ALL 5 chapters are finally close to the same size. They were far from it when I was a student. One as struggling for several years and was about half the size of the others. CPC stuck to their guns for well over a decade resisting expansion that was constantly being asked for by groups of girls very year (the last added was 37 years ago) It paid off and the houses are bursting at the seems. I know for a fact new housing is being requested. The new Fraternity village was built a few years ago and the fraternities have much smaller numbers. Securing new much larger housing will also be a great draw when expansion takes place. It isn't official yet, but is definitely being discussed. They want to have all their ducks in a row and present the best possible scenario to draw the attention of the NPC chapters.

May all of the chapters get huge classes full of girls who are appreciative of the opportunity to share in the bonds of sisterhood. Unlike Miss Snootiepants, geez how ungrateful!
