Auburn Recruitment Story

[AuburnTiger]

On the first day of Philanthropy parties, I was up before 6 am. That is very strange because I am so not a morning person. At the appointed time, I am holding my breath and hoping her manages to keep War and Tiger. My text alert goes off and I run frantically to my phone to see a text that there is a computer malfunction. Schedules are delayed at least an hour.

During the wait, I remind her that very few people have full schedules and she will probably be cut from some of her favorite groups. I am praying she has at least a few parties to attend and am hoping that, since her favorites are not typical favorites, she will have an easier time of it. She said that she is fine with that and does not want to be in a group that does not want her.

Finally, an hour after she was supposed to get her schedule, she sends me another text. She has 11 parties, including War, Eagle, Aubie and Tiger. I ask her if she is upset that she does not have 12. She quickly texts that only one person in her PiChi group has 12, many have much less and that she is just fine.

War- She still loved this group but it was not quite as fabulously wonderful as she expected them to be.

Tiger - The unicorns made another appearance today. She was just gushing about this group. My daughter told the active about a mission she helped start at church and at least nine people came over to hear about it. She loved them, they seemed to love her. It could not get better.

Day 2 of Philanthropy

Eagle - This party went much better than the expected. The text I got was "I actually enjoyed Eagle this time."

Aubie - Today, everyone suddenly knew how to say her name. They seemed passionate about their philanthropy. She described them as a hodgepodge of different kinds of people that seemed to get a long well. This group was growing on her.

After the last party, she had to list four alternates. War and Tiger were her absolute faves and she really wanted to go back to Aubie and learn more about them. She listed Eagle as her second alternate. Again, there were none that she disliked and made it clear she would be honored if any of them wanted her to attend their skit day parties.
