Auburn University Recruitment - Fall 2010

[aumom2010]

Finally heard from "Cassie" She went to 8 parties today, and will go to 4 tomorrow. She enjoyed today much more than the first round and felt like she got to know the groups much better.

Her top 3 so far are Cookies and Cream, Cake Batter, and Chocolate. Chocolate may be her top choice, and she felt that she made really strong connections there with several girls. The girls in chocolate stayed with her almost the whole party and brought others over to meet her. She also felt that it was positive that they talked about lots of outside interests, and not just sorority things. She was able to connect with a friend she made at Camp War Eagle, and it turns out that the friend likes Chocolate too and has a sister in that group.

She still feels that there are 7 or 8 places she could be happy.

She said that most of the girls from her high school had a full schedule too although quite a few were cut from one of the "top" sororities, which surprised her because they are very outgoing girls and have strong grades.

Almost all of the girls in her Pi Chi group, however, did not have full schedules. Her Pi Chi cautioned her not to brag ,(which she of course knew not to do) and the Pi Chi did not reveal the fact that Cassie had 12 parties.

The only negative is that she is losing her voice. She says the parties are very loud and you basically have to scream the whole time to be heard.

Thanks for letting me ramble and share. My husband is tired of hearing about it after about 30 seconds.

Ramble away. You are feeding the serious recruitment story addiction that is rampant on this board.

Thinking throughout the day of random people by code name that you will never meet who live in states half a country away at universities you've never visited...

and wondering how their parties went that day.

TriDeltaSallie-- YES!!! I've experienced that too!

So excited for Emma and Cassie, and yes it is tough. I spoke to " Suzie's" mom today, she said she hasn't seen her go to bed this early except when she's been sick..... she must be pretty wiped out.

Auburn Dad, Suzie also mentioned how tough today was, she liked so many of the houses and said it felt more relaxed than Ice water teas. While she has been taking notes , I suggested she bullet point specifics, with names vs writing narratives to herself. It really helps later when trying to make decisions. Suzie had 9 houses today with 3 tomorrow. Thank you so much for sharing.

Sounds like Cassie is also having a great time , glad she has her favs and the face she likes so many chapters.

Ahhhhh recruitment!
