Penn State has record turn-out for recruitment

[psusue]

The rain held off! I went to my last bid day as an active on the HUB lawn. It was chilly but so exciting! I loved chanting and seeing all our new women. We got 9 wonderful new members. I seriously loved every one of them during recruitment and they are all so happy and ready to get involved.

Quota was 27 I believe, the highest ever! Upperclassman quota was also used this year, which was 5 for each chapter. I will let you know how individual chapters did ASAP. Thank you for all the well wishes, it was an exhausting but exhilarating time and we are all so happy with our newest members and excited to start up with COR events.

YAYYYYYYY.

And at it being your last, though. I remember sitting in our living room at my last one and being happy to meet the new girls, yet sad at the same time.

Wow - a quota of FIVE upperclassmen - things have changed so much since I was at PSU. When I rushed (yes, it was still "rush") almost everyone was a sophomore; our pledge class had 1 freshman, 1 junior, and 15 sophomores.

The sororities sent out groups to sing and collect girls at their doors, and you had no idea who was coming for you (unless you suicided, like I did, and hadn't received The Call, so you knew exactly who was coming). You never saw your Rush Counselor again, and only found out through the grape vine what sorority she was in. And there was no SDT or AOPi (although they both arrived on campus while I was there); no TriSig, no SK, no DZ or ADPi. But there was AGD and TriDelt.

....and you wore onions on your belt, and if you were from Shelbyville, you wore green onions.....

OMG!!! The singing bids! I haven't thought about that in soooo long, but at my school (SRU) they did the same thing! I'm betting we are close to the same age. I was at SRU from 98-01

I was going to ask if you went there when you mentioned the Rock apartments. Everything there is Rock something just like everything near Penn State is Nittany something. lol. (I went to Clarion.)

LT and I are both quite a bit older than you, it's just that things change sloooooowly here in PA. (and we like it that way )
