You don't have to read them, simple as that.

Doesn't mean we have to draft every single sorority member that ever lived into writing a retro recruitment thread.

Eh, I figure it's a one time thing. Once everyone's done it, it'll be over

plus, it gives some folks something to gripe about.

I really am enjoying the retro-threads. So many of the writers have done an excellent job building the stories with well selected details. And we often know that they work out well in the end, so you don't end up feeling bad for folks the way you do in real time recruitment threads when they don't get their favs.

I'm also amazed at so many people either having their rush notes or such great memories that they can reconstruct the experience. For those of you haters, at least you can take comfort in knowing that you are safe from an Alphagamuga retro thread because there's no way I could remember enough of the experience. Honestly, I'm impressed by those of who have been out of school for more than 10 years who can do this! I can't remember the first thing about who rushed me or the conversations that we might have had. Yay for recruitment notes!

Yea, I love reading them

I'm just so taken with how different recruitment is throughout the country - and the long and winding roads so many of us have taken to sisterhood!

lol
I'm an inbetweener. I've read a few, but it went from one at a time to a dozen. It's not special or important when everyone's doing it all at once.

I do agree that it was better when they went one at a time.
I have a hard time following them without a score card sometimes for the code names anyway.

That would be my only complaint. I think the trend will probably fizzle before recruitment season begins, which is unfortunate, because that's kind of the reason this started in the first place, to give us something to "hold us over".

NutBrnHair! NutBrnHair! NutBrnHair!

It would be one thing if the retro recruitment threads were the same old "I went to 15 parties, the girls were sooooooo pretty and they sang a cute song and the next day I got cut by my favorite ice cream flavor but I did get asked back to Cookie Dough, then I went to prefs were there were lots of candles and crying and on bid day I was so nervous when I opened my envelope but I got a bid from Cookie Dough which is (scroll way down to bottom of page) ALPHA BETA GAMMA!" but most of these retro recruitment threads are really different. Most of them are more entertaining than the current recruitment threads. And like a previous poster said, if you don't like them, don't read them.

I won't argue with that.

I'm really loving these threads. My daughters just went through rush, I have a hard time calling it recruitment, and I just found my ZTA scrapbook which had been packed in my parents attic. I was looking my party schedule. They did have computers back then, just not PCs. My kids have a hard time believing that I wrote papers with a typewriter and didn't have a microwave ( were not invented) in my dorm room!
I don't remember all of those really interesting party details though...like some of you have. Keep bringing them on!
