Hee. I love taking my newborn son to the chapter I advise to see all his "girlfriends."

I tell them this is the only time it's acceptable to take him upstairs to the girls' rooms.

I've only ever been to one other Kappa chapter house -- the one where I now advise!

I don't know why, but I never read this thread until now. I think every rush thread should be like this. If every PNM was as tactfully honest as curlygirly was, there'd be no need to nickname the sororities in rush threads.

Wow...this thread is amazing! Thank you to Curly for keeping such a wonderful journal to inform and help others (such as myself.) I will be going through recruitment in a few short months at UF and this thread has introduced me to the process a bit more. I am extremely nervous and reading this made me nervous (and it happened awhile ago) so I can't imagine what I will feel like when I am actually there. Thank you so much for all the advice...especially to Curly to take the time out and log all of her experiences. Maybe if I don't find myself way too overwhelmed I will journal my recruitment experience. We will see! But once again thank you!

May I suggest that we sticky this thread as a wonderful example of a recruitment thread that maintains discretion throughout and concludes with a happy ending?

Ditto

I do believe that was the best rush thread I have ever read. And I personally liked the fact that I knew what sororities she she had to choose from. She didn't say anything negative about any one sorority and I felt like I knew what she was talking about better then XYZ ABC or purple blue pink or what the names from a tv show. (it was also cool to hear about her friend)

However it was a large greek university. I don't think if it were a 4 sorority university that naming them would be great throughout the thread. But listing them, at least in the beginning, wouldn't be bad if the recruit use the class and discression that CurlyGirly used.

I'm still amazed this thread has generated so many responses!!! (think it says more than 24,000 page views?!?!) Also love the fact that I can read back on my OWN life through this website!!!

I'm glad what I posted has been able to help out so many different girls thinking about/going through recruitment.

For the girl who talked about UF... remember I wrote this back in 2002. I know things have changed for UF recruitment, so make sure you do your research before then. Take mine as an "example"... not so much a guide.

Good luck!!!

First time reader here, but what an awesome thread!

I kinda feel cheated for being a dude and not getting a Recruitment experience like that! But then I thank God that men are less complicated.

carnation · #12 03-29-2008, 09:11 PM

Bump! I really like re-reading this thread.

smiley21 · #13 03-29-2008, 09:21 PM

It has been said many times before, but I am going to say it again. Why isn't this thread stickied at the top?

This should be a "how to write a recruitment thread" manual for PNMs.

gee_ess · #14 03-31-2008, 09:20 AM

First time reader of CurlyGirl's thread here - totally enjoyed it! If we can sticky it, we should make sure it is labeled as an example of discretion and respect so others will see immediately why it is a good one.

Also, I heartily agree with Carnation regarding the need for caution when writing about recruitment. Let's be realistic - this is the internet and not everyone is going to play fair.
