Is Colony Recruitment Worth It?

[pinkandpearls]

Good Morning All,

After having slept on it I feel a lot better. Chapters at my school are not Alabama sized, however they are significantly above 75. There are definitely more girls interested than will be selected. I am an extremely organized micromanager/scheduler so I think not seeing that cohesiveness right away just freaked me out, but after getting some rest my outlook is a lot more positive. Bid Day also freaked me out a bit- you have to go either way and will receive a bid card or a regret card. When I read things on here it seemed like if you weren't receiving a bid you would get a phone call before hand. However, I can't wait to see what the next week and a half will bring. Thank you all so much for all your help!

I agree...this sounds awful. Are you sure you're interpreting this correctly? I can't imagine everyone congregating together, and then either getting a "go home now" card or a "join the party!" card.

When we picked up bid cards for the colony I joined, we went to the Greek Life office to get them - they were sealed in envelopes. We were asked to open them outside the office (I mean, you could take it home to open, open in your car, whatever...just not IN the office). This was between 9 AM and 11 AM. Bid day started at 3 PM. If you got a bid, you were given instructions on where to go for the celebrations.
