They go to band parties, dinner and possibly the game if they can get a ticket. Chapters also have letter-writings during the year and send little notes to pnm's on their rush list just to say hello/congratulate on winning an award/happy birthday/whatever else. Many chapters have started doing "hometown dinners" where 15 or so chapter members go to the hometowns of girls and they all go out to a restaurant together. So for instance all the Birmingham girls being rushed will get together and go to cheesecake factory or pf changs with some of the actives. All of these things are in addition to what someone has called "sip and sees". We just call them teas. This all continues until around May 5 when no contact starts for bama.

I doubt LilyLover has a problem with the actual Spring Recruitment at Bama. I think it's more the recruiting methods of chapters to make girls "love us" before fall recruitment or even their senior year of high school.

YES this is exactly what i'm talking about. my own mother was asked to give tea's when i was a junior and senior in highschool for her alumnae sorority. talk abotu a slap in my mom's face when they dropped me.
