When we got there we tried to be social with everyone but some of the girls were completely unresponsive. So we got a table for ourselves and Tasha and another sister I'll call Elisa came by and sat with us. Candice came by and said she was glad we all came and that we should try to meet some more of the girls so I tried to introduce myself to someone and they responded with "yeah, I met you yesterday, remember?" I felt bad for forgetting so quickly and sat back down.
Things went on like that for most of the night and we got to know each other better instead of getting to know the chapter members. After an hour or so Elisa asked if we all wanted to go back to her apartment for a little while. We headed back there and met her two roommates who were also sisters, Bonnie and Stephanie. Both were very sweet and we had a good time getting to know each other until about 2:30 AM when we decided it was probably a good idea for everyone to get some sleep since recruitment started the next day!
I wasn't allowed to be very hands on in recruitment since non-affiliated members don't have chapter voting priviledges yet, but I did get a good view of how things worked and all of the "behind-the-scenes" stuff. After recruitment was over we were to come to weekly meetings until the chapter voted on us. If we were voted in then we became full active members of the chapter again and if not we would become alums. Candice had us stand up and introduce ourselves at every meeting, made posters of us that she put up in the room, and was very proactive in getting us involved.
Eek! almost done at work, more in a bit.

WOW that's crazy! could they really not vote someone into the chapter? I can't see sisters/sorors NOT wanting to vote a fellow member in!
Or, does it get into an issue of quota numbers?
