Recruitment at UGA

[kappa dawg]

As a current member of a UGA sorority, i can say that the most important thing is to go into recruitment with an open mind. DO NOT listen to what girls say in between parties about their opinion of houses, i know this is hard, but what is "home" to you may not be to them. There is no good or bad sorority, it is all where you feel comfortable and fit in, everyone has a different opinion. One important thing to look at during recruitment is the girls going to each party with you after round 1 ESP prefs... these could be the girls in you pledge class, so look around and make sure you could see yourself with that group. During my recruitment, i went in saying i was going to be an XYZ because my cousin was.. come to find out i did not fit in with those girls at all. Don't go a certain sorority because you know someone in it .. and don't be scared of them being mad at you... they won't be! like i said before everyone fits in someplace different. hope this helps! Good luck.. only 11 more days

I am so distressed with some of my daughter's friends already. Some have been "dirty rushed" by older friends this summer and a couple have already narrowed it down to what they think they want to be. Yesterday we were in line at Target, ran into another of my daughter's friends who is heading to Georgia Southern and she said she was rushing ABC, and another girl was rushing XYZ. WHAT?!!! My daughter said people keep asking her what house she is rushing....she says "all of them and THEN you see what happens". I don't have any idea where these girls come up with this because I have told their mothers over and over to emphasize that in about 99% of the cases, the choosing happens from the other side. My older daughter has talked to them and they just do not get it.

I am afraid there are going to be some more sad girls around here if they don't get a grip on the reality of it.

Wow. Even though that's not supposed to be the way it works, I hope at least the people chatting those girls up about groups have an unusual about of pull within the groups and have secured excellent recommendations for those girls too. (These are some big chapters with a lot of well qualified and interested PNMs for the most part)

The absolute worst case is that the PNMs take them at their word but the sorority women basically talk like that to anyone they know going through. If that's the case, those girls will end up miserable if/when they get cut.
