Rush at UofA

[FSUZeta]

claire,

my daughter goes to samford(in birmingham) & we made two trips in the summer from naples-one for orientation in the early summer and one to move her into the dorm in august. we will making similar trips for our son this summer. it's worth it to do two trips.

orientation is important-it is at orientation that you will meet the kids you will be attending bama with for the next 4 years. believe it or not, in that short period of time you might make a good connection with someone you meet. you have one more chance to familiarize yourself with the campus and the town before classes begin. and i can promise you that the sorority members who are orientation leaders will be checking out all the pnms. they will do it discreetly, of course, but i know they will be letting their sisters know to be sure to "check out clairedelune from orlando-what a cutie!!"

more importantly, you register for classes, and as aopirhodelta pointed out, the pickings are going to be slim if you wait until right before school starts to register for classes-they don't hold spaces in classes open for late registrants.

there are enough pnms going thru recruitment at bama that the sororities don't need to cut pnms who miss a day any slack-and they won't. there are at least a dozen other pnms waiting to jump in your spot. your chances will be greatly minimized if you have to skip a day of recruitment.
