Need Help With Recruitment - Page 4

I know what you mean about 20 minutes lasting forever!!! There were 2 groups that I just kept thinking, maybe I should ask to go to the bathroom... but I was nice and polite and all that fun stuff. These girls work hard to prepare, so I wouldn't dream of being anything else!

So, here are the parties I am attending tomorrow:
AXO, XO, DZ, KD, ZTA

Wish me luck and I wish you all luck as well! I need to hit the hay, I am SO exhausted! haha

See you all tomorrow with more EXCITING stories!

Love, V

so how did tonight go?

devoted04 · #53 08-18-2003, 01:11 AM

Today was the second day of recruitment. We had the Convocation from 2-3:30pm then the president's picnic at 5pm. Actually, the president's picnic started at 4pm but when it was annouced at Convocation, they said it was at 5pm....but at least we got a little break. I was able to run home and eat real quick and fill in my roommates on my day so far. We attended the president's picnic for about a half hour then we headed over to the parties.

I attended the parties in this order:
KD, AOPi, DZ, AXO, XO, ZTA

Each party lasted about 30 min and during the party we made crafts for each sororities philanthropy. It was a lot of fun. There are 3 sororities that I absolutely LOVE, 1 I am still border line, and 2 I like but haven't felt like home yet. I won't find out about my invites until tomorrow when I meet my Rho Sigma between 11am-12pm. If all goes well and I get invited back to all 6, then I will have to drop 2....which I am not entirely thrilled about because I'd like to give them all a chance. I hate to base it on just 1 or 2 girls that I sat with tonight and possibly 1 other girl from the previous night. Who knows, maybe I will be dropped and won't have to worry about it. Anyway, tonight was a lot of fun and most of girls showed me how involved they are with their philanthropy which really appealed to me.

Ok....it's been a long day and I have an early morning. Hopefully, I will have time to post which parties I will be attending tomorrow sometime. I have class until 5pm then the parties start 5:30/6pm. If I don't have time to post, then I will make an update when I am finished with the parties!

It is getting harder and harder because now I am starting to realize that I have 3 that I just LOVE and I have no idea how I am going to chose. Let's just hope that I get to chose though! Wish me luck and again, I wish you all the best of luck as well.

Love, Vanessa

PS-I FINALLY got to meet Crystal!!

YAY!!

Well, I received my invitations today. It was a little hard to take being cut from 2 that I absolutely loved. I dwelled on it for about 5 min then realized, it's not where I'm meant to be. I still have 1 that I love, 1 I am still border line on like/love and 1 I like but hasn't felt like home yet. At least I like them all though, right??

Tonight I am invited back to (and these are in no particular order, just they way they were told to me and the order I wrote them down in hehe):
AOPi, ZTA, DZ

I know the reasons I was cut from the ones I love.....1) I'm older 2) I'm engaged. I just hope not all of them hold that against me! But it still came as a shock.

Anyway, I'll post more tonight after the parties and fill everyone in! I am really excited because fromw hat I heard, tonight should be tons of fun!

DZHBrown · #57 08-18-2003, 03:56 PM

Vanessa - I know it sucks to get cut from a group you really loved. But you seem to have a good attitude about it! I hope tonight goes well for you!!

Edited to add:
Not all sororities will cut you for age or marital status! I know DZ and a couple of other chapters at MTSU have initiated upperclass ladies, those who are engaged and maybe even married.

You got cut b/c you are engaged? How does that affect your abilities to be a good sister? That seems bizarre to me...but then again, I'm a northerner

I'm not condoning (sp) cutting because someone is engaged but I do know the reasoning behind it. Most people will become alumni or go inactive once they are married, so I believe the chapters are thinking she won't be around for very long. This is really the same reason they don't want upper classmen either, they want someone who will be there 4 years. However, I believe upper classmen are much more mature and do much more for their chapters in the short time they are there.

Would you call the chapter that I love and tell them that?
