Penn State has record turn-out for recruitment

[pearlalum]

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.

This was how it was back in my day too, when I lived and was greek in Pennsylvania 3 decades ago! Now I live in the Midwest, and a number of universities have all the girls on the quad open their bids together and they have a ceremony to reveal their rush counselor's sorority. I think I like the Midwest way now - it seems more festive.
