3rd Time's a Charm Recruitment Story

[sunnyday07]

Round 1: This day was the open house round where all the girls got to visit all 8 chapters, but as I mentioned I was unable to attend Round one because I was out of town. I was instructed by my Rho Gamma to do some research and let her know my rankings. It would then be up to each house to decide whether or not they wanted to give me a chance during Round 2. Since I had gone through Fall rush I had a bit of an idea which houses I did not feel a connection with (of course a pledge class could change everything), but based on a bit of research and prior experience I ranked the houses as follows:

1. Woody
1. Barbie
1. Buzz
1. Jessie
1. Lotso
2. Ken
3. Rex
4. Big Baby

Now I could only pray that some of the houses would be willing to see me during Round 2. I didn't know what to expect since I had missed the first day and not met any girls. I was very anxious but nonetheless excited to see how it would go! I'll post Round 2 soon!

Just curious, what kind of research did you do? Look on their websites? What did your prioritize: their philanthropy, their academics, etc. ?

This is an interesting thread. It's kind of like how guys have to kind of pick ahead of time what frats they want check out because they can't check out all of them.

Anyways, have a great recruitment.

Actually, no, it's not.

She was pretty much forced to do something that is the exact opposite of how you should approach NPC rush because she wasn't able to make the first round. Also, she's already met all the sororities in fall formal rush, and one sorority she went to COB events for. I'm betting these impressions had much more to do with her ranking than any "research."

Freshman guys go into rush and make decisions without ever having visited many of the chapters.

I did skim through their websites just to check out their philanthropies (I'm big on community service myself) and read a little about each, but of course all of their sites are going to have great things to say. So, yea 33girl is actually right my rankings were mostly based on my previous impressions of the girls from when I had rushed in the fall.
