Sweetmagnolia's recruitment story!
Hi everyone!
Since I'm all caught up in the excitement over starting college and rushing this fall, I thought I would make my very own 'recruitment story' thread. I've read up on the protocol about these kind of threads, and I'm very excited to share this all with you. I won't be talking about my school or naming the different groups at my school, just to play it safe.
A bit of background:
I'm the first person in my immediate family to even consider participating in Greek life! My parents attended a school where Greek life wasn't an option, and neither joined graduate chapters. My siblings have attended schools with large Greek life scenes, and have friends who did Greek, but did not participate. I have cousins, however, who have done Greek life in the SEC and have nothing but rave reviews. It was their enthusiasm and love of their brothers and sisters that got me thinking that rushing is something I want to do. I'm very excited and (I like to think) open-minded about rushing this fall, but also a little bit intimidated, which is why I decided to join GC. In just a couple days I already feel so much more prepared for the month ahead!
------------------------------------------------
My school currently has six sororities, which I've ~*codenamed with different US cities. Why? I don't know. I've also color-coded them to make it easy to skim/scan through future posts.
NYC
Chicago
Los Angeles
Denver
Miami
Boston
* these cities are completely arbitrary and if they hold any special significance to any sororities, it's completely coincidental.
------------------------------------------------
I will keep you all posted! August promises to be an exciting month for me (and so many others!)
xx

Boston's a great city! I applied to a lot of schools there, but I decided I didn't want to be that far away from home. Thanks for stopping by!

oh, a celtics fan
haha, only kidding. I really like it there! It seems like a wonderful city- so historic, and it's got a city feel without being huge and overwhelming.

And I sincerely hope that you are within the city limits and not from a suburb and claiming Chicago. 
Only kidding. Sorta

Oh, that's my number one pet peeve! When people from Evanston or Lake Forest say they're from the city! Hahaha, I am within the city limits.
