Univ.of Illinois Recruitment FALL 2012

[lovespink88]

ANYWHO, putting this thread back on track...parties should have started around 45 minutes ago. Any updates from moms/rec writers on how many invites their PNMs got? If I'm correct, we have

- AngelMom
- 614
- Illinoisdg aka runtime
- 908sfirst

with daugthers and

- DG Illinois

with 3 rec girls and

- Larkspur12

with a sister.

Did I miss anyone?

[DG Illinois]

You are the best... you got everyone on there! I always get nervous when I don't hear from anyone.
My 3 girls did not get everyone back, but 1 has 3 pref parties, and the other 2 have 2 pref parties. They all have a house that they would love to be in and you can only be in 1 so all if good! I get the overall feeling they are so ready for it to be finished, but isn't everyone.
I was not a fan of getting my invite list back, regardless of what was on it
or how well it went. It's just a process that is so hard to understand until you go through it. I am wishing everyone the very best and hoping that all our ladies going through are having a wonderful day. Pref parties are very special and were my favorite part of recruitment!

DGillinois, I said I will give up my username and stop posting after the attacks stop...do you want me to post after I learn of my daughter's results, or refrain until I get a new name. Either way is fine with me.

If I were a DG I would be really offended by you still using my letters especially since some other people have already told you how rude it is so now you know and being new to this is no excuse. It would be easy to do the right thing and be nice and start over with a new name."

Had she just posted the name was confusing and politely suggested a change, that would have been one thing. Instead, she said that DGIllinois should be really offended, thereby trying to instigate something, said that I know how"rude" it is, and claimed that being new is "no excuse." And she had ZERO to add to my comment. So she was rude, and was your comment that you hope my daughter is nicer than I appear to be. Funny, I specifically wrote that if you did not want me to reply to let up, but you and old row just cant stop. If me posting with this name bothers you so, stop engaging me.

There is nothing rude about that post. You deliberately continued to use a user name several others informed you was offensive in a another thread and I had to go back and read all of that because I thought you were someone else in this thread. People gave you an easy solution in that thread to create a new user account but you refused. So that makes you not only a bully but a perp because no one reads signatures.

I think most of us would prefer a rude bully like you to no longer post here at all.

Really? Direct me to where I refused to pick a new name. In fact, I tried to create a new username, but it would not allow me do do so, and said that only one account per email address. So I made a mistake and I:

1. Contacted the administrator to change the username
2. Wrote a signature to disclaim affiliation
3. Tried to change usernames but was not allowed to do so.
4. Posted that if DGIllinois wants me to stop posting and not update on the recruiting, I will stop posting as soon as the attacks stop.

So your accusation that I refused to change names is patently false. Not only did I not refuse, I actively tried. Moreover, I honestly admitted that I have nothing to do with delta gamma, and the only reason people are supposedly offended is because of my honesty.

If some people here are interested in what transpires with my daughter, I will post. if it offends DGIllinois to post with my current name, I won't. I have no option to change names until the administrator acts.

Oh poor me...I can't make a new user name by reregistering and picking a name with no sorority name in it that won't offend anyone on GC. No that isn't completely possible and easy to do.

I couldn't care less if YOU are offended.

Maybe I'll make my next username AOII Angel2

Several people told you to open a new account and use it, but you didn't, instead you kept on using the offensive one even after you supposedly asked for a new one and threatened to never change it here because you were mad that people were offended. You do not seem to understand that your user name is offensive to all Greeks and not just Illinois Greeks or Delta Gammas because we take our organizations seriously. I can't even believe you are someone's mom because you are having temper tantrums like my littlest sister who is in third grade. Try to act your age and position in life.

my daughter ended up being asked back to the 3 she really likes. an unexpected and thrilling surprise for her. she is on cloud 9....for now at least!! good luck to all your girls. this is my second going through the rush process and it is not easy....i think harder for us than our kids.

YAY! I'm so glad to hear that. I haven't posted in this thread yet, but had been reading it.

I think it is easier because the PNMs are going through the process and have parties, while we as moms/rec writers/etc have to sit, wait and be (not so) patient during the parties in addition to the waiting for the lists. For all we know, they could be having the worst time of their life, even though it's doubtful that they are!

Gee, hope this thread doesn't get closed before we find out what happens to these PNMs going thru Illinois Recruitment . . .

Woo for all of your PNMs! 614, that is especially great news! Yay for her for having the WONDERFUL problem of having to choose between 3 chapters she likes. Hopefully pref will help her out a bit

Annnnnnnnnnnd mentioning the thread lock seems to always be the jinx before the thread lock. I hope I'm proven wrong.

Good to hear the girls associated with those here all have parties at houses they like today!

Best wishes for all of them at pref today.. such a special part of recruitment.. I still remember mine all these years later.
