Cheerflyer’s 2011 rush at Bama

[Cheerflyer]

I have been planning for this week for a year. I am so excited that it is finally happening. BTW I have multiple recs for all houses except one I only had one for that house. My HS GPA is over 3.9. This is what I have heard about the houses.
BETTYE MULLER
Heard that this is a very strong chapter with many beauty queens and the highest GPA. I know one girl that pledged hear last year.

How many recs did you have for each house? I have seen here on Greek Chat that 1 or 2 is enough.

What else do you do to prepare?

It seems as if you had an incredible rush.

Thanks

I had recommendations to the following chapters:
Alpha Chi 7 recs
I only asked for three, however others I knew wanted to write me one and I didn’t know how to say no.
DDD 5 recs
Ditto above
Zeta 5 recs
My sister is a Zeta at another SEC school several of her friends wanted to send recs for me.
AOPi 4 recs
Chi O 4 recs
Phi Mu 4 recs
DZ 3 recs
Pi Phi 3 recs
ADPi 2 recs
Alpha Gam 2 recs
APhi 2 recs
DG 2 recs
Gamma Phi Beta 2 recs
Kappa Alpha Theta 2 recs
KD 2 recs
Kappa 1 very strong rec

All of my recs knew me for at least 2 years, most much longer.
I spent a lot of time reading threads here on GC. Several of the posters here are UoA alumni they know the system! As you mentioned with Christmas break girls are home. Spend this time re-connecting with the ones you know at Bama. Avoid trash talking of any house. You never know who may have a friend there. As you are getting your recs ask about any teas that they may have. Attend the Spring Panhellenic Weekend. Attend any weekend event at the capstone where you may get a chance to meet other girls enrolled there. You will be surprised at the connections you can make. If you aren’t good at carrying on conversation, start practicing! What is your GPA? All houses look at this. I haven’t been through recruitment on the inside yet, however I hear a GPA cut is the easiest.
Oh, and you don’t have to wear Lilly Pulitzer every day. Just look nice and be yourself!
