My University of Southern California recruitment :)

[kaeb]

haha actually my grandma, who I've been emailing throughout this whole process, just reminded me that I'm here to learn as well. Which I totally know!

Definitely was NOT expecting to show up to class and see 3/4 of the class (all girls) wearing their bid night shirts... including 1/4 or so in Captain Awesome shirts.

I know AXO may not still give me a bid through informal recruitment, and they may hate me for turning them down, but I'm hoping my explanation to my rusher made it clear enough that I was not signing a card because I wasn't ready yet, not because of anything they did or did not do (I think those were actually my exact words...)

I got an email today from SDT about their informal recruitment, and it looks like a lot of fun! Way more chill, for a start. Like ice cream sandwiches on the quad and a beach trip? I can definitely live with that! haha what can I say, I love being spoiled! But I think most people do. SDT really made a good impression on me at the pre-recruitment meeting, so I'm looking forward to meeting these women.

I don't understand how what I did is like suiciding, when I didn't fill out a bid card at all? Ah well.

COB is not as structured as formal recruitment which will allow you and the sisters to be more relaxed and yourself as you get to know each other. If you were my daughter going through recruitment, I would have encouraged you to follow your heart which is exactly what you are doing. You made a conscientious decision to look at both houses closer with full knowledge that you are not guaranteed an invitation to participate in AXO's COB. Best wishes!
