Beachgirl's Recruitment!

[REE1993]

Who knows... being in different sororities may be a new "common thread" that you share in terms of types of experiences you go through. If you are NPC sororitities, many campuses now have NPC spirit days - "we are all sisters together" - where you celebrate being a woman, a Greek, your extended family. It might bring you closer.

I agree, when I pledged, I found it much easier to keep in touch with friends in other chapters than friends who did not go greek at all.

Do you have friends in each chapter or are all of your friends in the same chapter?

Good luck with recruitment!

I am VP of Programs for our Panhellenic council at my school and we just started a new event called greek fest where we had all the Greeks set up a carnival booth with a game. There was no compition, eventything was free it was just to be around fellow greeks as well as promote positive PR for the Greek community. As VP Programs for our Panhellenic council I strongly incourage all Greek events like that to build bonds with other houses.

ps I am a second year at my school and in sorority, we have 6 sosority chapters and i can say i have more than one friend in each house, its a great way to make more friends in a community where it is all about compition between houses to avoid enemies

You are on the list

Best of luck! Your friends, as sorority members, most likely understand that you will join the sorority that is the best fit for you. As long as they understand that, they will be happy with whatever group you end up joining.

Even though I am now agnostic, I grew up Catholic...it is all about the guilt!

it is wonderful that "she is keeping a list and marking it twice"
but... i alway feel i have done something naughty and wasn't nice!

sweet dreams

Hi again! The countdown is on... 19 days! After reading the other recruitment threads, I'm getting even more excited!!! I've hung out with some of the girls who I lived with freshmen year who pledged this fall and I talked to them a little about how it's changed them - hanging out more with their sisters, etc. and it's really made me more excited and much more comfortable knowing that they understand that I'll end up where I fit best (although I know that at least a few of them are hoping that I end up in a certain place...)

AND, I've met my first real, live Greekchat member in person!!! She's actually from the same town as I am AND goes to the same college which is exciting... and since I didn't know many girls from that sorority it's nice to have another familiar face going into recruitment. We were introduced previously by another non-greek friend and she PM'ed me and surprise! I'm learning how small a world is it - and that discretion will be important during recruitment!

We move back into the dorms this weekend and then we meet our Gamma Rho Chi's on Monday 1/29 and parties will start on Tuesday! Wooooo!!! I hope that I end up as happy as the other PNM's I've read about!!! I can't wait!!!
