I am out of the loop as far as how much of a disadvantage this will prove to be as I attended Alabama in the late 80's, early 90's. However, I think Hartofsec made an excellent suggestion of including a personal letter with your rec...sounds clever & effective!
I am not trying to hijack this thread but have a strange observation. In looking at bid lists & girls who have pledged at Alabama, particularly over the last 2 or 3 years, I've noticed an odd "trend" for lack of a better word & was wondering if you guys found this strange as well. I've noticed several girls, at least 6, who pledged a certain sorority, who all happened to be pledging a house that they were not a legacy to.
In most circumstances, these girls were not just breaking away from what their mom & aunt might have joined. These are girls who went against generations of tradition & many had cousins or sisters who had just graduated. No judgement here! Here's the weird part to me: On Bid Day, Parent's Weekend, etc, there are pics of these girls with their mothers who are wearing pins with the daughters sorority. I think it's cute to wear a pin in support to a football game with the family when everyone is sporting such a pin. However, I find it very strange to see PattyX, who was a "Chi O till I die O", sporting a let's say Kappa pin proudly...just an example. I guess I find it so odd because PattyX is very involved, or was until her daughter pledged another house, in getting girls from her hometown to pledge her original sorority. I have seen pins on Bid Day that moms wear saying "Chi O Parent" & something like that seems much more appropriate to me. Is it just me? I think PattyX looks crazy & you will not convince me it is in support of her daughter...I truly belive some of these mommas think they've gone to "New sorority heaven" & have been re-incarnated!!!!
