Texas Daughter's Recruitment Thread!

[adpiucf]

Here's some advice: When she buys her badge, get the guard that goes along with it. It's an extra safety clasp to keep the badge on your blouse (and to hold dangles if she has any honors or leadership positions)-- you'll thank me later when she tells you about all the girls who didn't pin theirs properly and are in tears searching for their badge on the front lawn after a serenade. The pin without the guard is well-made, but you have to secure it properly.

ETA: While the GiftMart has some great items, they can be a little more $$$ (part of the proceeds do benefit the Foundation which is great and everything b/c it goes to charitable donations and sorority trainings and development, but it is still more money than you'd spend elsewhere). You can collect stuffed lions at Target and present them as gifts for her room and buy letter shirts at the local Greek store near the campus more cheaply.

Also, get in touch with her Diamond Sister and arrange to send along a letter for her to read during initiation or a gift to open from you afterward. She'll be touched that you coordinated the effort.
