Alabama Panhellenic Preview Day

Titchou · #1 02-23-2013, 07:06 PM

Went to T-town to help out at the house today (arranging things, preparing meals and snack for the chapter,cleaning up, etc). Total number signed up for Preview Day was 1400! OMG! How many will be there this fall????

Also, construction fencing and signs up for new Gamma Phi Beta and Alpha Phi houses on Bryant Drive. Next week Tri Delta is having their farewell weekend at the round house. All very exciting for the sororities at Alabama!

Several PNMs on my '13 Rec Crew are there! I got some updates this evening -- 12 minute house tours for almost five hours! They have had a blast. I can only imagine what recruitment will look like this fall.

I know. It was weird. And some got over heated - but just wait till August!

I was there with my daughter. It's such a great atmosphere and the excitement was contagious. She walked in to the stadium after a looong afternoon visiting the houses with a smile on her face and I knew she'd had fun. The day was well done and I'm really glad we made the trip.

I know where Gamma Phi Beta is going - where will Alpha Phi be?

Next door to the right as you face them. So one lot closer to Martha Parham.

Glad to hear that from a parent!

Wow -- another huge recruitment on the horizon.

A good time for PNMs to begin making lists and gathering information they need for recruitment.

Of interest (and timely, considering), the Sorority 101 event (Birmingham Alumnae Panhellenic) is next Saturday, March 2nd -- open to all high school juniors and seniors:

Why, thank you, Hart. Was going to post today but you beat me to it. Glad you kept the link. We're hoping for a big turnout.

You're welcome. My local alum club sent out the info a while back and encouraged members to alert juniors and seniors they know.

I would imagine that other alum clubs have done the same.

I hope so! APH has put a lot of effort into this event and I know they would love for it to be an annual affair.

Hartofsec · #13 02-24-2013, 02:34 PM

You can still be the first to post about it on your own Birmingham Alumnae Chapter's website.

Yes, thanks for posting the link. I have passed this on to my daughter, who teachers at an "over the mountain" high school.

Some high schools might be willing to include this in morning announcements -- some college-related informational opportunities outside of school are made known to students (and parents too -- if the school has a parental sign-up system for daily announcements).
