It has been said many times before, but I am going to say it again. Why isn't this thread stickied at the top?

This should be a "how to write a recruitment thread" manual for PNMs.

This is a wonderfully written thread but PNMs, please don't use the actual names of the chapters you have at your school. Some GCers have actually tracked down where a woman was rushing by tiny hints on her thread and--whether they meant to or not-- affected her recruitment.

Also, we now have an annual thread where the recruitment dates of all colleges plus the names of their NPC groups are listed. If you say you're rushing on Sept. 1 and name the sororities at your school and then drop even a little hint about yourself--like "I have curly blonde hair and I'm from North Augusta", there are people who might actually stalk you. Be safe!

First time reader of CurlyGirl's thread here - totally enjoyed it! If we can sticky it, we should make sure it is labeled as an example of discretion and respect so others will see immediately why it is a good one.

Also, I heartily agree with Carnation regarding the need for caution when writing about recruitment. Let's be realistic - this is the internet and not everyone is going to play fair.

Bumping for this season's PNMs, parents, and those new to GC.

It's been six years since this lovely young lady rushed at the University of Florida, and this thread still remains at the top of my favorite GC threads of all time.

Everytime rush rolls around in the Fall, I can't help but secretly hope that we'll get another PNM rush story like curlygirly's -- naming names and all.

Just re-read this thread and it made me smile.

I like that I got to find out what CurlyGirl pledged.

I have to admit that the latest trend in Recruitment stories is pretty disappointing. I respect the need for privacy during the actual recruitment and maybe even for those who are currently actives, BUT for all the "old timers" out there, I don't think it matters whether or not you tell us the specific details.


Thanks for bumping this...

Cool Nearly 7 Years Later... who knew?!

Hello to everyone out there in GC...

I somehow came across this thread today, and it brought back so many memories.

It's been nearly 7 years since I first pledged, and I'm happy to report that I'm now getting involved as an alum. I'm on an advisory board, working with current Kappas, and am looking forward to everything it's going to bring.

I'm going to re-read this entire thread tonight at home, but for now just wanted to say I'm so happy this has become a wonderful resource for PNMs, and a way for alums to look back.

PS- I can't believe it has nearly 54,000 views! Wow!

Welcome back!!! I know I'm not the only one who's happy to hear of your new alum involvement!

Hey Curlygirly! 7 years ago, I didn't even know there was such a thing as GC. I've read your story more than once and feel as if I know you. I've wondered where and how you are. It's great to hear from you!
