Auburn Recruitment 2012

[BlueOwl]

My daughter bawled her eyes out after opening her bid...and of course called me (450 miles away) just crushed (my heart broke too, for her). She actually REALLY liked the house she got a bid from all throughout rush, but the house that she ranked #1 dirty rushed the daylights out of her, saying things like "you KNOW what you are, you are a ________", and "We all talk about you after the parties, everyone loves you...blah blah blah...". Really does a number on the pnm's, you know? Anyway, she wiped her tears and reluctantly went to her bid night events, arriving 30 minutes after everyone else! She was warmly and affectionately greeted by some of the older girls who may have had an inkling as to what was going on. Well, fast forward four years....my daughter just graduated from college and had the most fabulous collegiate experience as an ALPHA PHI!!!!! No regrets, no what ifs. Wonderful in every respect!!! It does get better

Awesome story! However at the bold, I can't imagine that the women who are dirty rushing know the consequences of it. I mean seriously, how could they?

Congratulations to all of the Auburn chapters for making quota again! RFM again shows that it helps keep more women in the system.

As for some of the stories shared above (disappointed PNMs on bid day) I think I am fortunate that the group that promised me a bid ended up releasing me before pref! (This was wayyyyyyyyy back in the day when quota was set before pref. The chapter knew that they would be several members under total after recruitment. They contacted me to tell me that as a loyal ABC I should drop out of recruitment and they guaranteed me a COB bid. Talk about your dirty rushing!!!!) Made it so much easier to fall in love with another chapter that I had liked all week at pref so I was a happy girl on Bid Day!

Sorry if I missed it somewhere in this thread, but what was quota?

Looks like it was roughly around 60...under RFM "quota" is not really a set number. It's more of a range.
