A West Coast Recruitment!

[TriDDDeltgirl]

I only plan on revealing the final house! DD3 is very happy where she is! And it isn’t scorpion!

A friend's daughter is a Kappa at Arizona. I really hope her chapter wasn't Scorpion. She's a very sweet girl who used to babysit our daughter.

I am continually surprised at Scorpion showing up. I would have thought this chapter would have been ranked LAST after the first round of parties? Scorpion is only being rewarded for their behavior. I guess the pull of a "top rated" chapter is stronger than a PNMs actual experience with that chapter.

Scorpion is not “top rated” and was ranked last everyday. DD3 had enough cuts for scorpion to always be on her schedule.

This thread is the best. The badge comments are literally making me laugh out loud!

I kinda wanna be a Scorpion

Pref:
Wildflowers
Sunset

The entire family breathed a collective sigh of relief when we heard her two houses.

Wildflowers:
She cried throughout the entire pref ceremony at wildflowers. She said that she felt transformed. She spoke with a sister who was less fire and brimstone than the more intense sisters she’d spoken with, she decided that she felt extremely comfortable, safe, and extra loved while in the presence of the Wildflowers.

Sunset:
DD3 also loved sunset. She loved their ceremony, cried, and had all of the same good conversations, and she had all of the same good feelings. She felt extremely torn up but she knew that she’d have to choose between the houses in the end.

Bid day:
DD3 woke up, she went to Starbucks in full makeup with her pajamas on and her hair in rollers, she returned to her dorm. Her rho chi called. DD3 had a moment. She freaked out. And then she womaned up and answered the call. “Hey love! You definitely have a bid but I needed to ask if you put scorpion first on your pref rankings! We really want you!” the rho chi said and DD3 smiled “I don’t want to jinx anything so no one knows my rankings but me and the sorority that I’ll become a new member of! Since you referred to scorpion as we, I’d assume that you’d see my name on your bid list if I’d ranked you all first! Thank you for checking up with me! You have a blessed day!” DD3 responded, ending the call right there.

DD3 went to open her bid later on with her friends, she received the white envelope, she ripped it open, the family sat by on FaceTime and watched her get so excited because she was now a new member of...

OK, your daughter is such an old, wise soul. I don't think I would have remotely known how to handle that call...and I'm still stunned at their "operations." What's so odd is this: wouldn't the Rho Chi already know that she didn't pref them? When I was a rush counselor I seem to recall knowing which houses my group of PNMs went to for pref. If she did know, then this sounds like mind games.

One thing I know from reading your posts is that your daughter is a grounded, mature and kind young woman...and can sure think on her feet too! Wonderful assets with which to build a rewarding life. Whichever house got her is darn lucky.

Thanks for such wonderful story-telling, it was a delight to read.

That’s what I said! I thought that it was strange that the rho chi would ask but DD3 says that she was trying to clarify a mistake with DD3, that DD3 was planning on going scorpion in the end. The rho chi was a bit off the entire week and I heard a lot of odd things about her. My mom and I came to the conclusion that it was a weird manipulation thing, “drop your houses and take a snap bid from scorpion” last ditch effort.

Thank you for the compliments on DD3, I’ll pass them along to her!

Sounds like that or something weird. Again, I'm so sorry she was subjected to such a rough time, I'm impressed that she hung in there - some girls might have given up. Now she can enjoy her just rewards of sisterhood!

On pins and needles. Wildflowers or Sunset?!?

[GreekOne]

Seriously, dying to find out how this goes. Can't believe the dirty rushing going on.

[MSKKG]

YAY! A happy Kappa ending to recruitment and a happy Kappa beginning to a lifetime of love and support for your daughter! How special for a Monmouth Duo ending, too! Of course, we want to hear ALL recruitment stories, so please fill us in. Congratulations to your daughter and her roommate!

WAIT>>>>>> I NEED THE ENDING!!!! I am on the edge of my chair! I am livid at the Rho Chi and her lack of separation from her chapter. Those Scorpions broke rules I had not even dreamed up.

This is hands down the dirtiest rushing I have ever heard of, in real life and in 20 years of GC.

And I totally know what she means about the “fire and brimstone” sisters. It’s like, I know you love your group but just chill out and watch tv with me for 5 minutes.
