My 2007 UGA Recruitment!

southernpromise · #1 08-15-2007, 01:05 AM

pumps: i had the same girl from yesterday so i didn't have to do the whole small talk over again and the conversation we had was just dead on, we talked like old friends. i really connected with their philanthropy and overall this one is my favorite as of right now. i know my mom, since it was her house, would love it if i joined here but we'll see.
i went to five houses today! oh my gosh the skits were amazing and hilarious and this was definitely my favorite day so far!
wedges: this is my other legacy house. i'm not sure I would fit in here but I would be willing to give it another look around. I'm not really sure that i'd like to pref here though.

stilettos: all the girls i talked to were so friendly. and everyone is saying this chapter is coming out and is going to be so awesome. i don't know that i'll actually fit here, but everyone i met there was very outgoing.

flats: this was my second favorite house of the day, their skit was definitely the funniest and i enjoyed the girl I talked to so much more than before.

boat shoes: the skit was great and funny, i think i could really shine here. but the girl i talked to was less than engaging and kept running out of things to say and asked me if i had any questions about 8 times. it was weird

sneakers: i can still really see myself here, it's so homey. their skit was hilarious and very fitting for the entire experience.

i just don't know what to think. i have favorites, but i'm really worried about tomorrow so I don't want to get my hopes up! i hope prefs is as amazing as everyone makes it out to be!
and thanks for all the advice y'all are making this so much easier!

Sounds like you are in the enviable position of being caught between all good options. You'll make the most out of any situation you find yourself in, so just go with your instincts.

ok, i have my list.
i'm going back to two.

boat shoes and stilettos.

we'll see how this goes. i'm a little nervous, they weren't my top picks but my rho chi said I should go to check it out and I could find my home. i hope shes right.

I know this has probably been a super stressful week for you, but I think that having TWO parties to go to today for Pref is awesome! It's obvious that the girls in the chapter see something in you and are sincere in their invitation to their Pref party.

My suggestion is to take a deep breath, go to both parties with an OPEN mind and see where your heart takes you. In your previous posts, you've said positive things about both these chapters, so remember that one girl who might not have had the best rushing skills should not deter you from being a member of a sorority with 150 other girls...who might just be your kindred spirits waiting to be your lifelong friends...

Give it a chance and don't lose heart. They are a lot of girls who either got released from recruitment or dropped out completely, I'm sure who would love to be in your place right now!

Best of Luck!

Great job southernpromise!!!! Keep an open mind and positive attitude. Also, I'm sure it's already been said, but during each party take a look around the room. Those women will most likely be your pledge sisters.

Listen to your heart, southernpromise! It will lead you home!

As she said above, not all have great rushing skills. My D went to a house that the rusher spent her ENTIRE time talking about the TV show "Laguna Beach" which my D had never seen in her life. So, she smiled and nodded the whole time. She basically gave her an update on the entire cast of characters with story/plot lines. D walked away thinking "okie dokie then" but oddly enough they preffed her.
Good luck and have fun.

No word since before prefs......

If you go to prefs, does that mean that you will get a bid? (You'd think I would understand all this by now from being on this site, but I don't think I'll ever understand NPC recruitment ... too complex ...)

The chances are good that you will. Especially if you list all the groups that you attended as groups that you would join. UGA will also promise* a bid to a girl who lists all the ones she was invited to, so if she went to both and listed both, she got a bid.

ETA: They don't actually promise a bid. But a girl is only eligible to be a quota addition if she lists them all. So it does add to her chances more than just added another group does.

But if you are given a bid, you don't have to accept.

She may be too busy with her new member responsiblities and/or catching up on sleep.

I am so sorry I made you wait! I didn't want to talk about my pref parties until after it happened. I am the happiest new member of...

BOAT SHOES!

DELTA GAMMA!

I couldn't be more excited!

DGAdDawg · #14 08-17-2007, 10:46 AM

I had a hunch boat shoes was DG....YAY!!! I hope you enjoyed Bid Day; The pictures I've seen on facebook are adorable!

I have to tell you a funny story, then....

I am SOOO EXCITED, first of all...

But my sorority big sis and I were on here late last night trying to find out how UGA DG did and everything b/c her sister-in-law went Delta Gamma as well!!!

I'm super-excited for you!!! I'll send you your first pair of Sperry's. ;-) J/K... but I will find out her name and PM you. You can be like, "Yeah, this random girl on greekchat knows your sister-in-law"
