A Magical Recruitment Story

[Katmandu]

Do people actually talk about Jesus that much at recruitment parties? Or is this like a Bob Jones University type place where God talk is expected/encouraged? Just seems very strange to me that the conversations in first round are all so religiously focused, and I went to school in the very buckle of the Bible Belt.

If she had a lot of church-centered activities on her resume, she was probably paired with like-minded girls in the chapters.

It was actually something I brought up myself, but my university is pretty conservative with many people (especially sorority women) of faith. Christ-centered community is what I really want out of my sisterhood, so I wanted to make sure they knew that right off the bat! Almost every girl I spoke with responded really positively.

I'm really glad you clarified this. If I had met women at a house that told me out of the blue that they were praying for me to find the right home, I'd be very turned off by that house and to a degree, sorority life in general!
