FSU Recruitment 2012

[debann127]

Good Luck to Shannon!!!!! I wonder how many of the 1580 girls are still involved in this process or should I call it a marathon? Well last night I got a text from daughter that she is excited about ABC house. Two of her best friends there made the same house their first choice. So I think that new information made her situation a bit more pleasant. Hopefully all three will get their 1st choice and I can send flowers to the house for all three of them. That would be a perfect world.
I've never been involved in greek life so thank you all for helping me thru this nail biter. She did tell me that the girls told her that she would fit into the house and she did tell them that this is the only house out of the three that she could see herself in. So hopefully that was enough for them to know that she would put them as her first choice and somehow she got on the A list. What do you all think?

Thank you,,,,,,,sitting here biting nails until 4pm. (Now thats an attractive picture,,ha)

Perfectly said. Thank you!

Me too. We were both fortunate to love our preference choices; I do understand that not every PNM feels the same.

You, sir, are a class act. I wish your daughter all the best.

debann, you probably already know that we can't tell you anything about where your daughter was on any chapter's list. It's membership selection, which is private to each chapter and differs from chapter to chapter. There are so many factors and variables at play. That said, I am sending you lots of strength today, and I hope your daughter and her friends are happy. Go for a walk or go to a movie to distract yourself until you get the news. I am thinking of you, and all the moms and dads who are waiting.

Having helped with recruitment as a Recruitment Advisor (not my current position) I can tell you that only a handful of people see the lists when they are completed, we're talking 2-4 people. Even the women putting data and votes in the computer will not see the lists. It just works better if most folks don't know which list anybody was on each day or even the final day. Having seen the lists in the past, I have no desire at all to see them now, I'm not even curious. Seeing a list, to me, makes me feel how I think Bilbo Baggins felt about the ring of power he stole from Gollum.
