Georgia Recruitment

[shadden]

I was very fortunate to have my daughter pledge the same chapter I was in at UGA, but I must say that I did not realize until recently how competetive rush is there. A good friend was in another chapter at UGA, and when her daughter went through recruitment two years ago she was cut by the house where she was a legacy after round 1. After round 3 the house called the mother to get a rec on another girl from the same hometown. The mom was understandably furious that the chapter had been so insensitive to her feelings. When they realized what they had done they were apologetic, but hurt feelings are hard to undo. I think the system has simply grown so big that it is hard to manage all the information and even be aware of legacies and recommendations. My chapter released a girl I wrote a rec on after round 1, and that would never have happened when the system was smaller.
