Delaware Recruitment Thread!

[texas*princess]

...during the kind of recruitment that I'm most familiar with, actives were not allowed to talk to pnms during that week.

How does it work for the schools that have one 'open house' round, and the rest of the rounds a month or two or three down the road? Are they allowed to talk to pnms during that period between the open house round and the other rounds?

I'm just curious since I didn't go to a school that did it this way.

I'm pretty sure we're still allowed to talk to the actives and stuff. This was very informal, so we weren't really informed of any "rules" or anything of that sort.

Very fun thread -- my best friend from high school went to UD - it's such a pretty campus. Sad to see the Stone Balloon is gone (was it still there when you were a freshman?)

True Delaware story: I had to call Encyclopedia Britannica to get something sent to Dover back in the day when FedEx didn't deliver everywhere.
Me: Hi, I need that sent FedEx to the Dover Mall
EB: I don't think FedEx ships to Dover.
Me: I'm sure they do - it's the state capital.
EB: State capitol? Of what state?
Me: Uh, Delaware.
EB: (indignant) And what state is Delaware in?
Bad enough from the general public, but scary from people at an encyclopedia company....

But enough with the Delaware stuff ---- good luck with recruitment, sounds like you're approaching it with a great attitude.

This is much like the multiple American companies who try to send things to my aunt by international shipping because she lives in New Mexico.
