It doesn't bother me either. I'm old school; I prefer the terms "Rush" and "Pledge" instead of "Recruitment".

Hopefully this works....


Hmmm Apparently I need to dust off the old Photobucket.

Ok I give up. My photos aren't working for some reason.

I love that you had to take 2 pics because the group is that huge.

(at least that's what I think you did).

Yep, I suppose I'll have to invest in a panoramic lens for next year, lol. Or ask Zillini if I can get up on ADPi's porch to take photos. Ha.

There are a LOT of out of state girls listed. I don't see the evidence for out of state girls not getting bids, judging from the bid lists.

A casual glance netted at least 5 women from the Greater Cincinnati area.. Cinci, Loveland, Mason, Wyoming, and probably more if I were to look closely. Not to mention Kansas, northern Ohio, and other points definitely not deep, deep south.

It actually sounds from the numbers that the vast majority of women who wanted to be in a sorority got that chance. Dropping out prior to pref is not a sympathy getter for me either.

Here's to all the advisors who work so hard to make everything happen! Take a bow, and a drink. You earned it.

I get that at these schools, rush is before school starts and it pretty much IS your life for a week and it comsumes you. So if things don't go your way, it's tough.

What I think people forget is that these are HUGE universities and once school starts, here comes the 80% of the population who could care less about recruitment and won't bat an eyelash at you getting cut (because they probably don't care).

This is another reason I hate the concept of before-school rush. No balance. There is NOTHING else going on; this is your whole world. (Why do you think all those people actually fall in love with the Bachelor/Bachelorette/Flavor Flav?)

In this context, yes, it bothers me because it's grammatically incorrect, not because of the word itself. It should "recently were pledged to sororities" instead. "Pledged" makes it sound like they're done with their program and initiation is tomorrow.

There is a girl from Alaska who got a bid to Alpha Phi! I think she gets the distance award.

And thanks again to LL for saying what a LOT of people were thinking.

Agree - "recruitment" always means something military to me
