U of Alabama Fall 2013 Dates

[Missouri Ivy]

I get that some girls decide at the last minute, maybe they see all their friends getting ready and change their minds, whatever. But if they're asking for last minute recs, the least they can do is send the things you need to write them.

I called this pmn and asked what she had done to get ready for recruitment. "Bought some really cute clothes" was the answer. She hasn't worked on recs and such because she heard at orientation that they aren't a big deal. SMH

Since Philanthropy and Skit are two days, do the girls get the invites back for all parties for that round at the same time - with some parties being the following day - or do they have to wait until the second day of each round to see who they might be going to that day?

[irishpipes]

I haven't heard of that being done. At the schools I am familiar with, you usually get your invites for a round on the first day of that round. (But I'm not a Bama person.)

[Titchou]

Yes, they get their entire round at one time. So they know all their returns at the same time.

Do you guys know the numbers of underclassmen and upperclassmen signed up so far? I'm rushing as a sophomore, so I was just curious to see how many fellow UC I might come across in my Rho Chi group I'm so excited!

[EmKD]

I move in tomorrow and then go straight to convocation! Im so excited/nervous!

[HappyPNM]

I'm sure we'll probably see each other there without even realizing it! Gettin nervous, y'all... UA recruitment with 2030+ girls is about to start. Doesn't that make this the biggest rush ever?

Yep, and like I said on another thread yesterday, more girls are seeking to join a sorority at Alabama this year than who were IN a sorority at the Capstone just ten years ago!!

I read on FB that in terms of number of PNMs, Bama is likely to be the largest recruitment in the country this year.

Editing to add "again" - it was the largest last year, too!
As of tonight, 2,094 are registered. Tomorrow the registration fee jumps to $250, so I kind of doubt we'll hit 2,100...frankly, I wish they would shut it off a week before!!

Just a little off topic question, if you didn't have alot of involvement in highschool will you not be considered in alabama rush? I couldn't do much like varsity sports because I had to have a job. I was involved in some things but not an impressive amount. I however do plan on being WAY more involved in college so does that count for anything?

If you listed that on your resume, that is considered as an extracurricular. You should be OK.
