Oh. My. GOSH! I am on such a Recruitment high! Tonight was absolutely incredible. Our sisters were fabulous - we all looked hot (if I may say so myself) and the PNMs were so sweet and interested. My bump group loved every single girl we met, and we met about 20-30. There are about 215 PNMs total!! Luckily the parties were divided up such that we only had to double-rush about half the time, and the rest of the time we only took one each. A few of the PNMs were a little surprised that we were double-rushing them (we're the only group that needs to) but they went with it and did well. It turns out we have four legacies going through and they are all fantastic girls. I got to talk to one of them and she was so sweet!
A lot of girls commented on our size compared to the other groups, but it was pretty much all favorable. One girl flat-out told me that she was really turned off by the fact that at one of the top-tier groups she went to the sisters didn't know each other's names and it made bumping really awkward since sisters were pretty much introducing themselves to each other! She loved how we were smaller and seemed so close.
Ok, so, a little about the PNMs I talked about earlier...
I got a chance to talk to
Kelly for few minutes, which was great! We haven't been allowed to talk for a long time, so we had a lot to catch up on. We just chatted and acted silly, which I missed. She told me that at Minerva she was really turned off by a very inappropriate question a sister had asked her.
I only got to talk to
Lily for a second, but she seemed like she was having a great time. I heard from another sister that she ONLY wants Venus, so that was great news!
I picked up
Danielle at the door and she seemed like she was having great time. My whole bump group loved her! I'm glad she wasn't too intimidated by the chanting and the sisters and that she was holding her own despite being a little shy.
I saw
Ashley across the room and she seemed happy. I didn't get to talk to her.
My sisters loved
Elizabeth! One of them told me she HAS to have her as her Little if she joins, so I take it they had a pretty good conversation!
I saw
Sasha & Tasha briefly but didn't get to talk to them. I heard Sasha is still very interested in Venus, but Tasha is thinking Minerva... we'll see.
Zoe wasn't there tonight because she wasn't feeling well, but hopefully she'll be there later in the week. She's apparently still very excited to go Venus!
And I'm going to add a few more...
Jenny is a legacy from our chapter who's very sweet! She seemed a little shy, but was loving Recruitment and seemed very interested in Venus. She didn't sign up until the last minute, so that's why I didn't mention her before.
Vicky is a girl I met earlier in the semester who didn't want to go Greek at all, but decided to sign up at the last minute. We had a GREAT conversation - I wish it could have lasted longer! She was a little apprehensive because she was rushing alone, and didn't want to lose her non-affiliated friends after joining a sorority. I was in her shoes as a freshmen and I think (I hope!) that I was able to reassure her a bit. I really, really want her to go Venus and she seemed very interested.
Well, that's all for now! It was an amazing round and our sisters did really well. I'm so proud of them and I'm so optimistic for Recruitment now.
**I know "rush" is an outdated term, so I apologize for using it so much... I just find it easier to say
