Bama Sorority Recruitment 2010

AnchorAlumna - you are correct - you must be invited to the Houses & the Parties. When my daughter visited last year she stayed with girls she was friends with & had gone to HS with. Yes, I'm sure she prob did some things I wouldn't want to know about but I also had to trust that she would make the right decisions. I know for a fact that she was invited to several parties & teas in the Spring as a result of the girls she knew from HS or new girls she had met when she visited Bama. As for the House invites during Rush - I don't know for sure that her prior visits were why she was invited back but I have to think that played a part in it.

My daughter was from out of state and only invited to one spring event. The only reason she was invited was because she was a legacy (deceased grandmother) , and an alumna sent a legacy form in her behalf.

My D had a great, near perfect rush without knowing anyone. But she was very prepared with 2-3 recs per house, great grades, EC's and the ability to meet and greet. It can be done, but it takes A LOT of preparation. We started in early spring looking form alumns, as we are from a small town and do not have a local Panhellenic.
Good luck to next year's PNMs.
