Auburn Recruitment Fall '08

[amanda6035]

Hhhhhmm. I've heard that quota was 61. Can't wait to see the results! I hope what I've heard about us is true - but I dont want to be the one to post before 5:00!

AuburnMom, I'm so sorry that rush didn't work out for your daughter, but it sounds like she made a thoughtful, informed decision. Best of luck to her as she begins to settle into her new school year.

Please encourage her to look into COB, if available, and especially into the Kappa Alpha Theta colonization. Theta is an amazing, very strong national org. Our first lady, Laura Bush, is a Theta (SMU,) as is her daughter, Jenna (Texas.)

Actually, as far as I know, both Bush twins (Jenna and Barbara) are members of Theta. Barbara was a member at Yale.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure I'm right.

You are 100% correct.

And as long as we are listing Republicans, you can toss Cheney's wife and McCain's wife in as well.

Of course, Theta has many well-known members that are not necessarily republican, and Theta nationally takes no political stand. I personally just find all those connections amusing.

Wow! It's amazing to see so many groups all making quota or very very close to it!

If quota was 59, then they did all make quota. Excellent job! THIS is what release figures should be doing!

The magic of RFM I guess - let's hope that they are all happy and have wonderful experiences! I love recruitment season!

That's cool about Barbara, I didn't know that she's a member. I remember hearing a lot about Jenna's rush, but I never heard anything about Barbara's.

I'm sorry if I was offensive. I was thinking more of Mrs. Bush's position as first lady as opposed to her politics. I thought that she might serve as a point of identification for a mom who didn't seem to be at all familiar with the org.

ETA: What great numbers!

Oh, you weren't offensive at all! Sorry if my post implied that.

There are a few (clueless) people who see all those women listed and make the assumption that Theta is a "republican" sorority.

You are right- Laura Bush is a great point of identification, and is a great ambassador for Theta. Amy Grant is also still involved and helps to promote many of Theta's great programs.

Not to imply that famous women are necessary for a sorority to be great... not at all. Theta has just been fortunate to have some strong, well-known women who continue to stay involved beyond the college years. Yay for that.
