I was going to a bad one but I ended up being a good one because I really liked the sister who was rushing me. She was a great rusher I liked all of them, actually. It's always fun to go help a chapter and realize that you probably would have loved them if you were a collegiate again!

We are hopeful, as she points out, that changes will occur prior to formal recruitment 2013. There is a new sorority advisor, an alumna of the school, and she appears to be receptive to finding ways to move the Panhellenic forward. Fingers crossed that after a few potential years of growth pains, more parity and stability can be gained for all the chapters there!

I was told tonight that they are already implementing some changes for first round. All PNMs will be expected to visit all of the chapters and it will be for a set amount of time.. at least for first rounds.

The letters went up on the new house today too. I had a good time tonight

Ahhh so sad I wasn't home last night!! Super sad I didn't get to see you. I just love the AGDs though. I was actually hanging out with them the other night. Their house is gorgeous is it not?

Can/do the chapters who don't get up to total often take a pledge class in the spring, or is that taboo? What do the fraternities do? Are they taking pledge classes both semesters?

This system would be no problem at all if it were a rush geared to upperclassmen, with a partially structured (i.e. you can't go where you're not invited) rush in the spring mainly for freshmen. I just really really really hate the idea of freshmen being able to avoid seeing all the possibilities.

All chapters have spring pledge classes, fraternities and sororities both. Spring classes are generally 3-7 or so. I hate the fact that freshmen aren't exposed to all possibilities either. Although, as Dee mentioned, we voted to give more structure to kickoff day. Each PNM will have to stay with their Rho Chi group and visit each chapter for 20 minutes only. If she doesn't want to visit a chapter in their set time frame, she can't go to another one she just has to sit outside and wait with her Rho Chi. I'm very happy about this.

Also, we have over 400 girls signed up last time I heard an update. It's very likely that there are more now. There are 45-50 girls in each Rho Chi group. Kickoff is Monday!
