Crazy Things That Happen During Recruitment

[GreekOne]

We had a COB situation where a couple of collegians were dispatched to knock on the door and invite a pnm to join. Apparently, they were given the wrong dorm room so came back with a different girl (same first name but completely different girl) that the chapter was not intending to receive. They still gave her the bid and she turned out to be a fabulous well loved member of the chapter. Sometimes mistakes are meant to happen.

Did the other girl with the same name, get a bid?

"Did the other girl with the same name, get a bid?"

No. The chapter was at total. They only had a certain number of bids to share and this particular one went to the incorrect pnm. It all worked out in the end.

Something like this happened at MS State one year. I had to go pick up the girl who was mistakenly given a bid and it was awful.

The good thing was that she got a bid to the same chapter in COB in the spring.

My first year of coming back as an alum to help with recruitment we had one of the day's party chairs slip down the stairs of the student center where the parties are held and break her wrist (it was winter and the stairs were not as well salted as they should be). Two alums took her to the ER and the rest of us tried to help the remaining chair and membership director get everything together but between the insanity of the injury and getting stuff ready we forgot to set up the project and laptop for the sisterhood video and didn't realize it until it was time to play it in the first party. We got it set up to play just at the end, but I now check all of the tech first before every party.

One of my friends was advising her chapter and the bakery where they had ordered their special pref desserts for years had closed early when they went to pick them up the day before pref so alums baked, frosted and personalized new ones all through the night for the party the next day.
