Yet to be Themed Re-recruitment Story

I love the fact that people say "I didn't have a rec" when they have absolutely no idea whether an alum signed a rec on them or not. Just because it's not from your personal direct knowledge, doesn't mean it didn't happen. And as for the thread hijacking, there is nothing for the OP to report yet. We will all be glad to hear from her when recruitment starts. And this discussion began because we ALL wish her well. We all want her to have a successful rush. We just (some of us) wish she would dot all her i's, rather than just some of them.

If I had a rec, it is total news to me. I know AXiD doesn't require them nationally and the other sorority I rushed also offered me a bid. Like I said, I had no Greek connections so unless an active who liked me wrote the required document, I didn't have one. Can actives write recs? That policy seems like it would harm smaller Greek systems if a GLO can only take rec girls. As I said, I was totally clueless about sororities and wouldn't have even known how to get a rec even if I'd known about them.

I am 100% certain my rec (which was required by org policy) was of the “written in the back room by our alumna advisor on bid day” variety. I came from an area of the country where Greek life isn't a huge deal, went to college at a university where recs are not even mentioned, am from a family with not a lot of college/Greek experience, and a high school where everyone was college-bound, but Greek life wasn’t something people really talked about pursuing.



And to KC_96: I hope you’ll come back and finish your story. The spambots seem to be (somewhat) under control and we really would love to hear from you!

It might be interesting to use the same names - because then there would be comparison of what you thought previously and what you think now. But you do what you want!

Sending you positive energy. Really want you to find a home that you can enjoy for the rest of your life (if you so choose).

I would like to add my own hopes for you! Best of luck!
