My niece pledged Phi Sigma Sigma at northern Ky. yesterday. They had been her second choice through out the week but at pref she totally changed her mind and they became number one. She is so excited. She felt so comfortable with them. Last night I was looking on her facebook to see if she had posted any pictures of bid day. No pictures but I noticed so many posts from girls welcoming her to the sisterhood. I thought that was so sweet.

I was looking for the "Like" button for this.




I have one rec girl at Ole Miss. Looking forward to seeing where she ends up.

One of the Houston Alumnae chapter member's daughters is going through recruitment at TX State - I will be doubly excited if she is pledged!

More UGA updates:

Another one of my UGA girls went DG and I was too excited to remember to post it here.
One of my UGA girls went Sigma Delta Tau.

That's 9 different sororities on campus this year for my ladies!

This might sound a little ignorant. But what exactly are recs? Who can give them out? Thanks no greeks in my family, first one rushing in the spring.

Lots of Love!

Rec is short for recommendation or reference form. Alumnae members of the individual sororities can complete them and submit them on your behalf to the chapter or reference chairwoman for their own sorority at your campus. Each sorority has its own official form that can only be completed and submitted by a member. Some sororities also allow collegiate members at other campuses to submit them. Collegians at your school cannot complete them, so do not ask any sorority members you meet this semester to complete a rec for you for their own chapter.

There are many "stickied" threads on this topic under the sorority recruitment forum, but you should start contacting women you know now so that you have time to find willing alumnae from each group. Recs may be expected at some campuses more than others, and they may be necessary for some sororities and not for others. They always help you stand out from the crowd and help the chapters learn more about you before recruitment starts.

My Ole Miss rec crew:
1 ChiO
1 AOII
1 Theta

They all look so happy in their bid day photos.

And....this should complete my fall recruitment madness.

Believe it or not, I've gotten my first request for a rec for Fall Recruitment 2013! Wonderful girl, though, so I have no real problem with it.
