I'm helping tomorrow afternoon and then all next weekend. (I'm hiding out from my MIL next weekend.) I'll post a "what's it like" review when it's over.

I'm learning the hazards of winter recruitment., though. Lots of ice on the sidewalks and the PNMS and sisters are passing a stomach bug around. It's not one that you fake your way, through, either.

That was my chapter last year. With us it was a full-blown almost-hospitalizing flu. We lost about half of our actives over the course of recruitment, and while our sisters who went through last year claim that they never noticed, the room was basically empty for prefs. It was such a mess. I was lucky I never got it, but the rest of the chapter was dropping like flies.

Re: underlined, I'll contribute! Having so much fun although my calves are crying for help because I spent so much time jumping. Kept my voice this year though so I'm already doing that much better. PNMs went to our party after yours, and I've heard good things (not through talking to PNMs but through Panhel and gamma chis).

One round down, three to go!

Thanks!

We should "shush" about specifics, though, until recruitment is over, in case there are any PNMs lurking.

Yup, no specifics from me until I am well-rested and coherent enough to make sure my specifics are even right haha.

Yep! And thank you!

The amount of croaks during class with the following explanation "Sorry I was at recruitment all weekend" was hilariously high. Looks like pretty much every sorority woman on campus has lost her voice and classes will be significantly quieter until later on in the week. Can't decide if that's a good thing or not

Then again, I can't talk either so.......

Okay ending the hijack of this thread. Sorry!!
